Identifying misclassified meteor showers in the IAU MDC database. Reclassification Proposal
T. J. Jopek, L. Neslušan, S. Ďurišová +2
The study of meteoroid streams reveals the full complexity of these structures. At present, we have no objective method of deciding whether the parameters of the observed meteoroid…
Search for shower's duplicates at the IAU MDC. Methods and general results
T. J. Jopek, L. Neslušan, R. Rudawska +1
Observers submit both new and known meteor shower parameters to the database of the IAU Meteor Data Center (MDC). It may happen that a new observation of an already known meteor sh…
Near-Earth Asteroids of Cometary Origin Associated with the Virginid Complex
G. I. Kokhirova, A. I. Zhonmuhammadi, U. H. Khamroev +1
The Virginid meteoroid streams produce a series of meteor showers active annually during February-May. A certain parent comet is not found but a related association of some showers…
Showers with both northern and southern solutions
L. Neslušan, T. J. Jopek, R. Rudawska +2
Meteoroids of a low-inclination stream hit the Earth arriving from a direction near the ecliptic. The radiant area of stream like this is often divided into two parts: one is situa…
Modification of the Shower Database of the IAU Meteor Data Center
M. Hajdukova, R. Rudawska, T. J. Jopek +3
The Shower Database (SD) of the Meteor Data Center (MDC) has been operating for 15 years and is used by the entire community of meteor astronomers. It contains meteor showers categ…
New Nomenclature Rules for Meteor Showers Adopted
T. J. Jopek, M. Hajdukova, R. Rudawska +3
The Shower Database (SD) of the Meteor Data Center (MDC) had been operating on the basis of stream-naming rules which were too complex and insufficiently precise for 15 years. With…
Status of the IAU Meteor Data Center
Regina Rudawska, Mária Hajduková, Tadeusz J. Jopek +3
Since 2007, the Meteor Data Center (MDC) has had two components: the Orbital database (OD) and the Shower database (SD). The orbital part is in charge of the efficient collection,…
Remarks on generating realistic synthetic meteoroid orbits
T. J. Jopek
Context. To identify the real associations of small bodies, we can use synthetic sets of orbits generated by various methods. These are not perfect methods, therefore the assessmen…
The orbital clusters among the near Earth asteroids
Tadeusz J. Jopek
Fifteen orbital clusters (associations) were identified among ~20000 near Earth asteroids (NEAs). All associations were found with a high statistical reliability using a single lin…
IAU MDC Meteor Orbits Database -- A Sample of Radio-Meteor Data from the Hissar Observatory
M. Narziev, R. P. Chebotarev, T. J. Jopek +10
We announce an upgrade of the IAU MDC photographic and video meteor orbits database. A sample of 8916 radio-meteor data determined by the radar observations at the Hissar (Gissar)…
Probability of coincidental similarity among the orbits of small bodies - I. Pairing
Tadeusz J. Jopek, Malgorzata Bronikowska
Probability of coincidental clustering among the orbits of comets, asteroids and meteoroids depends on many factors like: the size of the orbital sample searched for clusters or th…
IAU Meteor Data Center | the shower database: a status report
Tadeusz Jan Jopek, Zuzana Kanuchova
Currently, the meteor shower part of Meteor Data Center database includes: 112 established showers, 563 in the working list, among them 36 have the pro tempore status. The list of…
Stream and sporadic meteoroids associated with Near Earth Objects
Tadeusz J. Jopek, Iwan P. Williams
NEOs come close to the Earth's orbit so that any dust ejected from them, might be seen as a meteor shower. Orbits evolve rapidly, so that a similarity of orbits at one given time i…
The Near Earth Asteroid associations
Tadeusz J. Jopek
We have made an extensive search for grouping amongst the near Earth asteroids (NEAs). We used two D- functions and rigorous cluster analysis approach. We have found sev- eral new…
