Geminids 2015 analysis
Abstract
The 2015 Geminids have been successfully observed and an analysis has been made, based on all available data. The maximum activity occurred beyond the European observing window and could not be taken into account due to a lack of data from the Far East. The rising slope of the activity profile before the predicted time of maximum activity displayed less strong activity compared to a number of previously well observed Geminid returns. The 2015 Geminid observations are not conclusive about the question whether or not the maximum activity of the Geminid meteor shower is on the wane.
