(meteorobs) David Asher's Leonid calculations
Malcolm, list,
David's calculations for the Leonids covers both the bright resonant
meteoroids (in the press release today) and the more straight-forward dust
trails produced at every return. David has detailed calculations on these
dust trails in a forthcoming paper in MNRAS (still embargoed). Both David
and I have looked at the consequences of his calculations in a paper
submitted to WGN. We would like to think that much of the uncertainty in
predicting the Leonids has now disappeared, but that will be for others to
judge!
