Leonids: Activity

Scientific paper

In the period of November 16 - 20, 1993, five experienced observers in the Dutch Meteor Society (DMS) observed 58 Leonid meteors and 121 sporadic meteors in 16.52 effective observational hours. Analysis of their data result in ZHRs that are comparable to the normal annual Leonid activity in "off season" years. These results are at odds with results by Bel'kovich et al., who claim that in 1993 activity was a factor 2.5 higher than usual. The author support the opinion expressed by Jenniskens that 1994 was the year that marked the first sign of enhanced activity of the Leonid meteor stream connected to the perihelion-passage of the parent comet P/Tempel-Tuttle in 1998.
