RE: R: (meteorobs) WM1 shower?




Please re-check the situation in May. I think that it will come to about
0.01 au, but will not produce any outburst.

C/000 WM1 does not look very promising at all to
me in
terms of producing a meteor shower

Using the Neslusan et al radiant prediction
program and
the MPEC 2001 U43 orbit it appears that the
earth approaches the comet node by no more than
0.3 aU in November and May - probably this is not
enough to
produce a major shower
