Scientific paper

A mathematical model for the three-dimensional distribution of the Geminids is proposed. It is based on the mass and flux densities of these bodies in a plane normal to the mean velocity vector and intersecting the descending trajectory node. Based on the dependence of meteoroid orbital elements on mass, values for the hypothetical parental body are found for epoch 1950.0. The full mass of the stream particles is 9 x 10 to the 14th g which corresponds to that of a spherical body with a diameter of 1.2 km.
