Photographic Analysis of the 1992 Quadrantids

This paper analyzes the photographs taken by members of SOMYCE during January 3-4, 1992, from several sites in the Valencia, Granada and Barcelona provinces. During this night, two meteor showers were detectable: Quadrantids and Coma Berenicids. In total, the inspection of the negatives revealed over 80 meteors, more than 50 of which are Quadrantids. The obtained astrometric positions of each meteor were analyzed using the software RADIANT, version 1.4, developed by Rainer Arlt. The obtained radiant position suggests that the investigated meteoroids were not perturbed by Jupiter recently.
