Statistics of the Orbits of Meteor Streams and Comets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
From radar observations carried out during 1967–1968 a catalogue of 20000 orbits was obtained. A method has been developed for identifying meteor streams and associations, and the orbits of the meteors recorded during January–April 1968 have been analysed. Among them 163 streams have been identified, and these contain 33.5% of the total number of orbits. Comparison with the orbits of the short-period comets of q <1.1 AU shows considerable differences.
