Scientific paper

Visual observations of the 2006 Leonid meteor shower as collected in the Visual Meteor Database (VMDB) are investigated. The Leonids exhibited a short-lived activity peak on November 19, 2006, at 4:46+-6 m UT. The maximum ZHR was 75+-8. The activity peak coincides with a maximum of the population index of r=2.46+-0.14. The outburst is associated with the encounter with the 2-revolution dust trail of the parent comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle.
