A Research of the Orionid Meteor Shower by Television Observations in 2006-2008

摘要

The results of observations of the Orionid meteor shower are given in the period from 2006 to 2008. Observations were carried out using a highly sensitive camera FAVOR (FAst Variability Optical Regis-trator) a limiting magnitude of above +11.0~m (for stars) and a field of view of 18° × 20°. Over the period of the shower from October 2 to November 7, 2006-2008, there were 3713 meteors. 449 of these meteors were associated with the Orionid meteor shower. The distributions of Orionid meteors by the stellar magnitude is presented. It turned out that most of meteors (65%) of this shower have a brightness of +5.0~m-+7.0~m. On each night of observation the index of meteor activity was calculated for Orionids.
