Abstract

Meteorite producing streams (mainly of asteroidal origin) may contain large bodies, which are capable of causing great damage in the case of their fall on the Earth. Therefore the problem of meteorite producing streams is a part of a general multifaceted space hazard problem. Analysis of the catalogue of 78 fireball streams has revealed the streams which contain meteorite producing bodies among individual members of stream. There are 11 such fireball streams, and 6 of them (54%) are related to meteoroid streams. Thus, all meteoroid streams related to these fireball streams are meteorite producing. We have found 15 fireball streams, which do not belong to the class of meteorite producing streams, but in which fireballs with initial mass $M_{\infty }$ of about 50 kg and more are detected. Seven of them (47%) are related to meteoroid streams.

Keywords:

meteorite producing fireball stream, meteoroid stream, meteor shower, relationship
