(meteorobs) Perseid outburst prediction this year? [from IMO-News: WGN 32:2 in press]

[Lewis J. Gramer]

The latest issue of WGN (the newsletter of IMO - the
International Meteor Organization) is out, and among
other interesting-sounding items in the announcement
from editor Chris Trayner, I noticed the following:

 Perseid one-revolution outburst in 2004
   Esko Lyytinen and Tom Van Flandern

 The scatter of orbital semimajor axes from a Perseid stream model
   Kondrat'eva E.D. and Ishmukhametova M.G.

Esko is among our readers, as are several other well-
informed pros and amateur meteor scientists. So I was
impelled to ask - what ARE the latest predictions for
a Perseid outburst this year?


Clear skies all!
