Southern sky meteor showers - AMOS data
Abstract
The ongoing video observations have caused a huge increase in the reporting of new meteor showers, the number of which in the IAU MDC list has grown to more than 900. Since the southern sky observations are still significantly rarer than observations of the northern sky, only less then a quarter of the established showers have their radiants on the southern sky. In the working list, there are about 800 showers, the confirmation of which remains open, owing to the low number of southern sky data in the databases.We present our meteor data contribution from the new stations in the Atacama Desert in Chile, established as part of the AMOS project of the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, which have been in operation since March 2016.
