This page provides the latest activity information of Aurigids 2021 by using worldwide Radio Meteor Observations from RMOB. This information was published by Hiroshi OGAWA and Hirofumi SUGIMOTO (Japan).

Summary: Aurigids 2021 showed a small outburst on August 31. The outburst peak occured at λ=158°.39 (August 31. 21h(UT)) with around ZHRr=55. Using data every 10minutes, the centeral peak was estimated at λ=158°.395 with around ZHRr=80. But their ZHRr values have a wide error range. Activity Level Index(AL) also recorded AL=1.1±0.4 at the same time of ZHRr. Besides, the number of Long Echoe which continues for more than 20 seconds increased. (updated on Sep 2nd. 21h UT)
