Investigation of the activity of the Alpha-Capricornid meteor shower
Abstract
The activity of the Alpha-Capricornid meteor shower during 1950-2050 is investigated using the solution of a model problem. Variations of the spatial density of the shower under the influence of planetary perturbations are examined. It is shown that an increase in shower activity can be expected on January 25th of the following years: 2001, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2010. The radiant coordinates and geocentric velocities are presented for the entire time interval under investigation.
