Abbreviations

Most abbreviations are self explainatory. A few of the more obscure ones plus the meteor shower abbrevations are listed below:

Teff - The effective observing observing time

Sol.Lg - The solar longitude of the mid-point of each period.

L.M. - The average limiting magnitude of the observer's field of view during each period.

F - The correction for obstacles such as clouds or trees in the observer's field of view during each period. A ten percent coverage of ones field of view would yield a correction of 1.11 (100 percent-10 percent = 90%), 100/90 = 1.11

SPO - Sporadic (random) meteors

ANT - Antihelion meteors (from a constant source located opposite the sun in the sky)

SHR - Shower meteors

COM - Coma Berenicids

QUA - Quadrantids

XBO - Xi Bootids

AHY - Alpha Hydrids

DLE - Delta Leonids

LYR - Lyrids

ETA - Eta Aquarids

ELY - Eta Lyrids (from Comet Iras-Araki-Alcock)

THE - Theta Herculids

DAR - Daytime Arietids

JLY - June Lyrids

JBO - June Bootids

TAQ - Tau Aquarids

CAP - Alpha Capricornids

JPE - July Pegasids

SDA - Southern Delta Aquarids

PER - Perseids

NDA - Northern Delta Aquarids

PAU - Pisces Austrinids

ACY - Alpha Cygnids

NIA - Northern Iota Aquarids

KCG - Kappa Cygnids

AUR - Alpha Aurugids

SPE - September Perseids
