The updated version of the IAU MDC database of photographic meteor orbits
Abstract
The database of photographic meteor orbits of the IAU Meteor Data Center in Lund has gradually been updated. The version 2001, which has been prepared for distribution and which will be released soon, contains complete orbital and geophysical data on 4581 meteors (equinox J2000.0). A new meteor identification code consisting of the publication serial number, the author or station code and number of the catalogue is introduced. The verification of mutually dependent parameters has been performed. All the files with the pertinent documentation will be placed on a www-site to enable their free, public downloading.
