Abstract: | The International Astronomical Union at its 2006 General Assembly in Prague has adopted a set of rules for meteor shower nomenclature,
a working list with designated names (with IAU numbers and three-letter codes), and established a Task Group for Meteor Shower Nomenclature in Commission 22 (Meteors and Interplanetary Dust) to help define which meteor showers exist from well defined groups of
meteoroids from a single parent body. |
