Meteor stream activity. II.

DOI

In the past two centuries, alert amateur and professional meteor astronomers have documented 35 outbursts of 17 individual meteor streams well enough to allow the construction of a homogeneous set of activity curves. These curves add to similar profiles of the annual streams in a previous paper (Paper I, See Cat. ). The activity curves, expressed in terms of Zenith Hourly Rates (ZHR), have a shape that is usually well described by: ZHR=ZHR(max)10^(-B|{lambda}{sun }-{lambda_{sun}_(max)}|)^. The steepness of the slopes varies from an exponent of B=7 to B=220 per degree of solar longitude, with a typical value of B=30.
