Fireball stream of the Glanerbrug meteorite. List of the 14 meteorite-producing fireball and meteoroid streams
Abstract
The bright fireball of -12. m 5, that produced the Glanerbrug meteorite, was observed over Netherlands on April 7, 1990, at 18 h 32 m 38 s UT. The first orbit determinations were very approximate and naturally required revision. M. Langbroek, having analyzed basic data, obtained new revised orbital elements of the Glanerbrug meteorite. We apply this system of elements in our research. Having analyzed catalogues of fireball and meteoroid streams, we found fireball stream of the η-Ursa-Majorids. Its orbital elements are consistent with those of the Glanerbrug meteorite. The η-Ursa-Majorids fireball stream belongs to the 14 meteorite-producing fireball streams, found by us. The orbital elements of those streams are presented. We revealed asteroid association (three asteroids) possibly related with Glanerbrug meteorite and its fireball stream of η-Ursa-Majorids. This leads to a possible existence of an asteroid-meteoroid system of minor bodies. Value of Tisserand's constant calculated for all five objects of this system reveals that all these objects including the fireball stream and Glanerbrug meteorite are not related with comets or cometoids but they may be related with asteroids. All five objects have very similar values of Tisserand's constant. On the base of this Tisserand's criterion does not contradict to the assumption that in the past all these bodies could have shared the same orbit.
