First results of Bosnia-Herzegovina Meteor Network (BHMN)
Modeled according to similar networks in the region, since the spring of 2013 in Bosnia and Herzegovina began operation of video meteor network, which currently consists of five stations. In preparation is expansion of the network by setting up another 5 stations. The Network is jointly managed by Astronomical Society Orion Sarajevo and Federal Hydrometeorological Institute in Sarajevo whose meteorological stations were used for installation of cameras. So far cameras of BH meteor network recorded over 9614 meteors and we calculated 1306 orbits. In this paper we present the results of the first year of operation of our meteor network and analysis of Geminids recorded during the peak of this meteor shower that occurred 12/13th December 2013., which confirms the high quality of the data obtained. The orbits obtained with the help of stations of our Network were compared to the orbits of the Geminid meteors obtained by Japanese video meteor network (SonotaCo) and the orbit of the presumed parent body of the shower asteroid 3200 Phaethon, using Southworth-Hawkings D-criteria.
