AB The Quadrantid meteor showerpeaks on Jan. 3-4, with its main activity confined to a12 to 14 h window. Despite it has one of the highestZHR of all annual showers (above 100 meteors/hour),it is very difficult to observe because of frequent badweather in early January in the northern hemisphere.One asteroid, the near-Earth object 2003 EH1, is theaccepted parent body of the Quadrantid meteoroidstream [1]. Several studies have revealed changes inthe orbital elements of this stream within a period of afew thousand years [2-6]. So, the determination ofprecise orbital and radiant information can be veryuseful to improve our knowledge about the Quadrantids.For this reason, in the framework of the SPanishMeteor Network (SPMN) we focus our attention onthe activity of this stream when weather conditions arefavourable. Thus, as a result of our continuous monitoringof meteor activity, tens of double-station Quadrantidmeteors were recorded from our observing stationsin January 2011. Among these, several fireballsare included. For events brighter than mag. -5 ourspectral cameras, which perform a continuous spectroscopiccampaign, imaged the emission spectrum producedduring the ablation of meteoroids in the atmosphere.We present here the preliminary analysis of oneof these bolides.
