Scientific paper

A new meteor shower catalog was established from two years of continuous video observations based on almost 240,000 single-station observations by more than 100 video cameras operated at 25 stations in Japan. 39 208 meteor orbits were computed from them as qualified multi-station observations. From this sample, 38 meteor showers were obtained as the result of applying a uniformized method of clustering in the four-dimensional space of appearance in Solar longitude, radiant position, and geocentric velocity. The full set of showers in the new catalog covered 37% of all meteors. No other concentration was confirmed from the remaining 63%. The catalog is the first one based on long term, wide area, multi-station video observations, and shows the recent real activity for all major meteor showers that are optically observable from northern hemisphere. Eleven showers have been added to the list of meteor showers of the IAU Meteor Data Center (MDC).
