Some hours ago it was printed a MPEC circular with the discovery of a new
"asteroid", 2013 BC18

with a cometary orbit and with a little MOID that perhaprs can to do a
meteor shower, at this passage the asteroid shall be around a month
after the Earth in the same place.
The meteor shower should have this caracteristics:
geocentric speed around 26.2/26.3 km/sec,
heliocentric speed around 38.6/38.7 km/sec,
maximum around 5.8 January 2013,
MOID 0.022,
radiant around 08 H 00 M, decl. around +53° (in Lynx, near 27 Lynx star)
Naturally, the orbit it's not definitive (3 only days), then it's possible
that the caracteristics of the shower can to change.
Somebody saw this meteors?
Best greetings.
