Streamlets within meteoroid streams on NEA orbits

Five meteoroid streams of apparent asteroidal nature have been identified in the IAU_MDC Database of Photographic Meteors. Three streams contain streamlets, composed of two or more meteoroids sharing nearly the same orbit. The random impact rate on the NEA population by objects 1 m or larger is esti...

Sumario:Five meteoroid streams of apparent asteroidal nature have been identified in the IAU_MDC Database of Photographic Meteors. Three streams contain streamlets, composed of two or more meteoroids sharing nearly the same orbit. The random impact rate on the NEA population by objects 1 m or larger is estimated to be 4900 yr-1.
