An evaluation of the Geminid meteor stream radiant from photographic observations
Abstract
Precise determinations of the photographic Geminid radiant during the period 1955-1993 are compared. A best fit position of RA 1130.0, Dec. +320.7 (2000.0) at solar longitude (2000.0) 2620.0 has been determined. The spread of the photographic Geminid radiant is small and is especially concentrated at the time of maximum activity.
