AB Accurate orbital data obtained for the recently discovered γ -Ursae Minorids meteoroid streamduring the 2010 and 2011 Spanish Meteor Network and Finnish Fireball Network observingcampaigns are presented. In particular, we focus on an outburst detected in 2010 and onthe analysis of the first emission spectrum recorded for a member of this meteoroid stream.An array of high-sensitivity CCD video devices operating from different locations in Spainand Finland was used to perform this study. We have obtained precise trajectory, radiant andorbital information for seven members of this stream. Considerations about its likely parentbody based on orbital dissimilarity criteria are made. We also present an estimation of thetensile strength for these meteoroids and a unique emission spectrum of a γ -Ursae Minoridfireball that reveals that the main rocky components have chondritic abundances.
