Abstract

The Orionid outburst observed in 2006 resulted in strong activity, continuing for about four days. We have found that this activity was caused by the dust trails formed by meteoroids ejected from 1P/Halley in -1265, -1197 and -910. The orbital period of these meteoroids had six times the Jovian orbital period. Therefore, the mean motion resonance with Jupiter is thought to have forced these meteoroids move close to intersect the Earth's orbit.
