Abstract

The results of the testing analysis of the dynamic parameters of 114 comets undergoing nucleus splitting are presented in the article. Some aspects of the following idea as working hypothesis are studied: disintegration of the comet nucleus happens as results of their collision with meteoroid streams also. For the verification of this working hypothesis the position of splitted comet orbits have been analyzed relative to 125 meteor streams from Kronk's list. The number of comet orbit nodes separated by 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 au from known meteor streams were computed and analyzed. The orbit of each meteorite stream was replaced by a set of similar pseudo-streams for comparison. Statistical methods and simulations showed that 31 out of the 125 streams have significant predominance over pseudo streams.
