The radiant distribution of sporadic meteors
Abstract
The radiant distribution of sporadic radiometeors has been studied using six surveys catalogued by the IAU Meteor Data Center. In addition to the previously known Apex, Helion, Anithelion and Northern Toroidal sources, we have discovered a Southern Toroidal source and have confirmed that the Apex source may be split into Northern and Southern components.
