Duda Leonidas

[antopv]

Este año las Leónidas para cuando se esperan? La madrugada del 17 al 18 o la del 18 al 19.
Creo que van a tener una actividad moderada. El sábado estuve observando y ya se dejaron ver unas cuantas.

según la web del IMO, las leónidas de este año tendrán su máximo el 18 de noviembre a las 2h50m GMT (así que sería del 17 al 18 ).

Si quieres más datos sobre la lluvia, te pongo aquí el texto del IMO:

As the events in 2003 —2005 demonstrated, when enhanced ZHRs of ~ 20 —40 were found, the ending of the strong to storm Leonid returns between 1998 —2002, associated with the 1998 perihelion passage of parent comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, have not meant an end to interest in this fascinating shower. The possibly enhanced 2006 return was still to come when this text was prepared, but there were no other predictions for potentially increased rates in force after then until 2009. Consequently, it is possible that only the usual nodal crossing peak may happen in 2007. If so, it may see a fall back to the more typical peak ZHR levels seen away from the near-perihelion returns. Nothing is certain about this year's shower however, so please be alert, and look out for any updates or fresh predictions! The Leonid radiant rises usefully only around local midnight (or indeed afterwards south of the equator), roughly the same time that the waxing gibbous Moon will be setting on November 18, so darker skies will be available for covering whatever happens. The maximum timing above would favour sites in Europe, Africa and the Near East. All observing techniques can be used.

Saludos.

En SOMYCE www.somyce.org , hemos preparado un texto sobre las Leónidas de este año. Creo que saldrá a lo largo del día en la página principal (de aquí, de la Hubble).

¡Saludos y buenas leónidas!
