O článku:
The method of indices was used to study the northern branch of the autumn
(night) part of the Taurid complex. The procedure based only on
mathematical statistics was applied to select the Northern Taurid meteor
records from the IAU Meteor Data Center Database. Because we wanted to
study especially the structure of the inner part of the Northern Taurids, we
were focused on the interval of the higher activity of the stream — from
the end of the Perseids activity to the beginning of the Geminids activity.
We did not take into account outlying parts of the complex, which is active,
according to some authors, until January. 84 orbits of the Northern Taurids
were selected. 63 of 84 Northern Taurids orbits (75%) were sorted into 11
associations found in the stream. One of the associations consisting of
three orbits was identified as a previously unknown northern branch of τ
Arietids shower. We also found an association with orbital characteristics
equal to the characteristics of showers δ Psc N and χ Ori N.
Meteors in these associations were observed up to three weeks earlier
compared to currently cataloged data of the showers. The orientation of the
mean orbit of a 5-member association of δ Psc N, different from the
general trend, indicates that this stream may not be genetically related to
other members of the Taurid complex.
