Alpha Cygnids - a possible July minor meteor shower
We present a comprehensive study of a possible α-Cygnid meteor shower. Based on visual and telescopic observations made by Polish observers we estimate basic parameters of the stream. Activity of α-Cygnids lasts from around June 30 to July 31 with clear maximum near July 18 (solar longitude λ = 116.5◦). Maximal Zenithal Hourly Rates (ZHRs) are equal to 3.6± 1.2. The structure of the radiant ana...
متن کاملSSC00-IV-3 Leonid Meteor Observer in LEO: A University Microsatellite to Observe a Meteor Shower From Space
This paper presents university-based design and development of a micro-satellite for the observation of a meteor shower from the low Earth orbit. The satellite will be launched as a piggy-back payload of a commercial rocket launcher, a few weeks before the 2001 or 2002 Leonid meteor maximum in which thousands of meteors are scientifically expected. The goal of the mission is to conduct the scie...
متن کاملResponsive Interaction for a Large Web Application: The Meteor Shower Architecture in the WebWriter II Editor
Traditional server-based web applications allow access to server-hosted resources, but often exhibit poor responsiveness due to server load and network delays. Client-side web applications, on the other hand, provide excellent interactivity at the expense of limited access to server resources. The WebWriter II Editor, a direct manipulation HTML editor that runs in a web browser, uses both serve...
متن کاملAn initial meteoroid stream survey in the southern hemisphere using the Southern Argentina Agile Meteor Radar (SAAMER)
We present in this manuscript a 4 year survey of meteor shower radiants utilizing the Southern Argentina Agile Meteor Radar (SAAMER). SAAMER, which operates at the southern most region of South America, is a new generation SKiYMET system designed with significant differences from typical meteor radars including high transmitted power and an 8-antenna transmitting array enabling large detected r...
متن کاملThe Τ Herculid Meteor Shower and Comet 73p/schwassmann–wachmann 3
The τ Herculid meteor shower has not shown any appreciable activity since 1930. However, it is associated with Comet 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3, a Jupiter-family comet that split in 1995. The fragments will pass near the Earth on 2006 May 13, and could produce an outburst of the τ Herculid shower. However, by considering both meteoroids released during the splitting event and on previous perihe...
