New meteor shower in Fornax
Abstract
A new meteor shower has been discovered by Global Meteor Network from a radiant at α = 44.0° and δ = -38.3°, with a geocentric velocity of 51.7 ± 1.0 km/s within an activity period 97.3° < λʘ < 105.1° with a maximum at λʘ = 102.78°. The Tisserand parameter relative to Jupiter corresponds to a Long Period-type comet (LPC), in this case on a retrograde orbit. The new meteor shower has been registered in the Working List of Meteor Showers of the IAU MDC with the preliminary designation M2024-N1.
