Re: (meteorobs) Re: Encke and Taurids this year?
Asher and Izumi have published on this a few years ago in the MNRAS 297
(1998), 23-27.
According to them a cloud of particles in the stream in a 'mean motion
resonance' in the 7:2 resonance is responsible for these years with above
average Taurid activity (and indeed, 1981 was one of those years). In other
words, it is due to a same kind of phenomena as the 1998 Leonid fireball
component was. The next scheduled appearance of the 1981 kind for the
Taurids should be in 2005, according to them.
