Results of the IMO Video Meteor Network - August 2018
Abstract
During 2018 August, 85 cameras of the IMO Video Meteor Network recorded over 88 000 meteors during more than 13 100 hours of observing time. The flux density profile of the Perseids that is presented shows lower activity in 2018 when compared to the average profile of the previous years, with a maximum value of 30 meteoroids per 1000 km2 per hour. The population index profile of the Perseids reaches a value of r=1.85 around the time of maximum. The flux density and population index profiles are also presented for the kappa-Cygnids.
