Scientific paper

We carried out a wide-field TV observation of the Leonid meteor shower at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, from 12h30m UT through 20h15m UT on 1999 November 18. We detected 428 Leonid meteors, along with 55 sporadic meteors. A gentle peak of the activity was recognized at around 17h UT, when the peak influx rate of meteoroids was 1.1 x 10-6 km-2 s-1(mag < +5). This secondary peak was at least by one order smaller than the main peak of the Leonid storm observed at 02h UT over Europe.
