Identification of new meteor showers SCP (#1042) and OSG (#1043) and their associations with the asteroids 2019 OK and 2017 NT5
Abstract
The Brazilian Meteor Observation Network, BRAMON, reports the discovery of two meteor showers, observed after a search in its own database. For the meteor shower #1042 SCP, one meteor was found in 2015, six meteors in 2016, four meteors in 2017, one meteor in 2018, one meteor in 2019 and three meteors in 2020, occurring between solar longitudes of 103° and 138°. The mean radiant position is at right ascension of 312.2° and declination of -20.8°. For the meteor shower #1043 OGS, the evidence is based on one meteor in 2014, one meteor in 2015, three meteors in 2016, eight meteors in 2017, two meteors in 2018 and five meteors in 2020, occurring between solar longitudes of 100° and 126°. The mean radiant position is at right ascension of 297.3° and declination of -26.7°. The asteroids 2019 OK and 2017 NT5 were identified as the most probable parent bodies of the particles responsible for the meteor showers.
