W. R. Abstract From an analysis of radio-echo data obtained on May 4-5, 1949, the mean observed velocity of the ,i-Aquand meteors is determined to be 64.4 km/sec, and the corrected geocentric velocity to be 64 6 km/sec A position at R A 330 , Dec. 0 , is found for the -Aquarid radiant. With these data an orbit was computed with an eccentricity of 0 83, an inclination of 157?8, and a period of 8 0 years. Some further remarks on the Aquarid shower of July, 1949, are appended, and the observed velocity is corrected to give a geocentric velocity of 40.9 km/sec for the Aquarid meteors Publication: The Astrophysical Journal Pub Date: November 1955 DOI: 10.1086/146113 Bibcode: 1955ApJ...122..513M full text sources ADS |
