Scientific paper

After a quiescent period of several decades, the June Bootid meteor shower (sometimes referred to as June Draconids) surprised a number of regular and casual observers by an outburst with maximum ZHRs of near 100. A total number of 619 meteors was recorded during regular meteor observations. An average populations index of r=2.22+-0.07 was derived from 511 magnitude estimates. The broad activity profile with high rates for more than 10 hours and the large radiation area in 1998 resemble the appearance of the 1916 and 1927 outbursts. The peak time is found to be between lambda=95.7 degrees and lambda=96.0 degrees (eq. 2000.0); the average radiant is at alpha=230 degrees and delta=+47 degrees.
