Scientific paper

A systematic search was carried out for radiants of high-inclination meteor showers in September and October based on data collected over eleven years with cameras of the IMO Video Meteor Network. The Aurigids (206 AUR), with an outburst in 2007, and the September epsilon-Perseids (208 SPE), with an outburst in 2008, were the most prominent showers. Detailed SPE outburst data of 2008 are presented. Data of the October Lyncids (228 OLY) and the beta-Aurigids (210 BAU) stored in the database of the IAU Meteor Data Center have been confirmed. Radiant data of the September Lyncids (81 SLY) have been improved, and the activity period of the delta-Aurigids (224 DAU) has been better defined. Two new radiants have been detected: the September-October Lyncids (424 SOL) and the psi-Aurigids (425 PSA). All showers are at high-inclination orbits and may be part of a complex which could be similar to the Kreutz group of comets.
