| Abstract: | Numbers of meteors recorded in Chinese and Japanese histories are counted. Two distinct maxima in Chinese records are found in the 11th and 15th centuries, and the latter is also recorded in Japan. Of those records, numbers of bright meteors with sound and great fireballs that appeared in the daytime are also investigated.Correlations between the meteor numbers and the apparitions of naked-eye comet likely to be found, and seasonal variations in the meteor flux recorded during nineteen centuries show two maxima in July–August and October–November, the latter may be related to the Taurid complex. |
