Scientific paper

A search is made for asteroid-related meteoroids among the 3759 orbits determined in the two Adelaide radar meteor orbit surveys of the 1960s. All meteor orbits are compared to the orbits of all known comets and established meteor showers. A new and powerful technique is developed which allows the recognition of streams associated with specific parent objects, when large orbit surveys are analyzed. Apart from (3200) Phaethon, the Geminid parent, meteoroid streams are found to be associated with (1566) Icarus, (2101) Adonis, (2201) Oljato, (2212) Hephaistos, 1937 UB (Hermes), (5025) P-L, 1982 TA, and 1984 KB. There is also evidence of meteor activity for a few other Apollos; no streams are found for any of the Atens or Amors. It appears that meteoroid streams are a general feature associated with Apollo asteroids.
