Abstract: The very remarkable similarity of the preliminary orbit of Near Earth Asteroid P/2024 OC2 and the alpha Capricornid meteor shower (CAP,#1) is outlined. Discussion Following a thread online started on November...
Read MoreAbstract: Following the release of MPEC 2024-N106 declaring the newly discovered comet P/2024 L4 Rankin an immediate examination of GMN meteor orbits tested against this published orbit using a discrimination criterion was made...
Read MoreC/2022 R2 is a recently discovered comet with a preliminary orbit that passes within 0.05 AU of Earth’s orbit. D criterion assessment suggests that this comet has the potential to lead to an annual radiant in the heart of Lepus around November 22nd to 24th.
Read MoreTwo radiant clusterings are noted in UKMON data near 41 Arietis, whilst D criterion analyses show two discrete showers, and to a far lesser extent the somewhat earlier and even more discrete λ Arietids, the overall similarities...
