Scientific paper

TV observations of the Leonid meteor shower were carried out between 18h (UT) and 20.h5 (UT) on 2002 November17. In total, 412 Leonid meteors were observed along with 303 non-Leonid meteors. Enhanced activity of faint (mag < +10) Leonid meteors was observed between 19.h5 (UT) and 20.h5 (UT), with a peak influx of 1.8 × 10-4 km-2 s-1. The activity of this peak was rich in faint meteors, without visible meteors, which was different from the storm observed in 2001 over Japan. Comparisons between the observed peak and several theoretical predictions are discussed.
