Abstract
Studying the dynamics of meteor streams associated with comets
14P/Wolf (in the orbit known before a large disturbance by Jupiter in
1922) and D/1892 T1 on the basis of gravitational action exclusively,
it is possible to demonstrate that the detectable part of the stream
of 14P/Wolf has been split into two rather different strands by
planetary disturbances. The first of these strands is overlapped by
the detectable part of stream of D/1892 T1, whilst the second strand
coincides with the ![[FORMULA]](img2.gif)
Capricornids meteor
stream. The result is drawn comparing theoretical (modelled) orbits of
the streams of both comets with the orbits of actual meteors, observed
photographically, which are contained in the catalogue of the IAU
Meteor Data Center in Lund.
Key words: meteors,
