Trajectories and orbits from the NASA-NMSU Meteor Observatory. II.
Abstract
Trajectory data and orbital elements for 12 double-station meteors photographed by the NASA-NMSU Meteor Observatory during the winter of 1975-1976 are presented. Three of these are members of the Quadrantid stream. Photoelectric timing of meteors, uncertainties in the derived orbital elements, and monitoring of the night sky with a two-channel photometer are discussed.
