A Search Method for Meteor Radiants

This article presents the results of a study whose goal it was to develop a method to search for new showers. The method inputs are meteor orbits provided by data from video-monitoring networks. As a result, the method proved to be effective in providing a list of new potential showers. The method consists of five data-analysis and processing steps. This study and development provided an important tool for the search of new showers. Up to the present moment, the method enabled the identification of more than a hundred new potential showers.
