T1 The ρ-Geminid meteoroid stream : orbits, spectroscopic data and implications for its parent body
A1 Madiedo Gil, José María
AB By using an array of high-sensitivity CCD video devices and spectrographs, the activityof meteor events from the poorly-known ρ-Geminid meteoroid stream has been monitoredduring 2012 January and 2013. As a result of this research, the atmospheric trajectory andradiant position of 10 of these events has been obtained, but also the orbital parameters ofthe progenitor meteoroids and the tensile strength of these particles. The data reveal that theprogenitor of this stream must be a comet. In addition, the emission spectra produced by threeρ-Geminid meteors were also recorded. These are the first ρ-Geminid spectra discussed in thescientific literature, and have provided clues about the chemical nature of these meteoroidsand their parent body.
