Forecast of enhanced activity of eta-Aquariids in 2013
Abstract
We tried to simulate distributions for Eta-Aquariids (ETA) of dust trails from 1P/Halley, we found out that some dust trails formed by meteoroids ejected in -1197 and -910 would approach the Earth in 2013. It means that the enhancement of eta-Aquariids would be expected.
Actually, the enhanced activity of eta-Aquariids was observed in 2013. Its peak time corresponded with the time when the dust trails approached the Earth based on our simulation. Therefore, it was sure that the enhancement was caused by these dust trails.- Publication:
