Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - January 2018
Abstract
During 2018 January, cameras of the IMO Video Meteor Network recorded over 20 000 meteors in more than 8 000 hours of observing time. The Quadrantids were poorly covered by the Network cameras as the shower's short maximum occurred outside the observing window for most of the cameras. The descending branch of the flux density profile is shown and compared to profiles of years 2015 to 2017. The kappa Cancrids did not appear in 2018. The flux density profile is presented for the gamma Ursae Minorids, with the flux density below 1 meteoroid per 1 000 km2 per hour between January 18 and 22.
