Lifetime of Meteor Streams Associated with Comet Halley
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Critical examination of the orbital parameters of particles ejected from comet Halley rejects the low age hypotheses for meteor showers associ- ated with the comet. The diffusion of the orbits of large particles is too slow for explaining the observed structural features of the stream. The mass-loss process as derived from space observations compared with the mass of the stream of particles deduced from flux data lead to comet lifetimes of the order of 105 years.
