Abstract

The orbit and radiant of the Geminid meteoroid stream based on an analysis of the current version of the IAU MDC catalogue of photographic meteors are studied and discussed. The mean orbit, shape, size and ephemeris of the radiant are derived. The radiant area of the central part of the stream is more concentrated with the densest part of the size of 2◦ × 2◦. The orbital evolution of the stream is investigated and compared with the evolution of its potential parent asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
