New photographic meteor showers
Abstract
. Seven new photographic meteor streams have been observed among 2538 meteors photographed with the Baker Super-Schmidt cameras. Approximate orbital elements were derived for each meteor. The average orbital elements of the new shower members were compared with known comet orbits, and associations were found between Comets 1739, 1819IV and 19131 and three new streams. Only two of the streams are readily identified in catalogues of visual meteors.
