Meteors, Meteor Showers

Scientific paper

During 2006 the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) set up three automated video stations in Andalusia for increasing the atmospheric coverage of the already existing low-scan-rate all-sky CCD systems. Despite their initially thought complementary nature, sensitive video cameras have been employed to setup an automatic meteor detection system that provides valuable real-time information on unusual meteor activity, and remarkable fireball events. In fact, during 2006 SPMN video stations participated in the detection of two unexpected meteor outbursts: Orionids and Comae Berenicids. The three new SPMN stations guarantee almost a continuous monitoring of meteor and fireball activity in Andalusia (Spain) and also increase the chance of future meteorite recoveries. A description of the main characteristics of these new observing video stations and some examples of the trajectory, radiant and orbital data obtained so far are presented here.
