Leonids November 16/17, 1996
Visual results obtained by Marco Langbroek (Dutch Meteor Society).
Observing location: Woignarue (near Abbeville), north-west France
Latitude: 50d06m (north)
Longitude: 1d29m (east)
Interval [UT] Teff Mg Leo Tau aMo Spo ZHR(Leo)
23h46m - 00h06m 0.32 6.9 5 3 0 13 78 +- 35
00h06m - 00h38m 0.47 6.5 7 4 0 12 75 +- 28
03h28m - 04h22m 0.73 6.5 51 2 2 35 85 +- 12
04h22m - 04h57m 0.52 6.4 56 0 2 34 129 +- 17
05h42m - 05h52m 0.15 6.2 10 0 0 5 91 +- 29
-------------------------------------------------------------
23h46m - 05h52m 2.19 129 9 4 99
ZHR has been computed with:
- Cp = 2.0
- gamma = 1.4 (correction of Radiant elevation)
- r = 2.8
Magnitude distribution:
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 Total
Leo 1 3 3 3 3 4 9 17 20 31 28 7 129
Tau 2 3 1 3 9
aMo 1 0 0 1 2 4
Spo 2 27 44 23 3 99
Remark 1:
The corrected magnitude distribution is not linear.
The population index varies with magnitude:
From -5 to +1: r = 1.5
From +1 to +6: r = 4.0
Remark 2:
At 04h32m UT 3 fireballs (-4, -4, -3) appeared within a 50 second timeframe.
Two of these fireballs appeared 5 seconds after eachother.
Remark 3:
These data will be published on our DMS website soon!
