P/Machholz 1986 8 and quadrantid meteoroid stream. Orbital evolution and relationshipThe evolution of the P/Machholz's meteoroid stream was simulated. It shows that this stream may produce eight meteor showers. There are the known observed meteor showers such as the Quadrantids, Ursids, Northern and Southern delta-Aquarids, Daytime Arietids, and alpha-Cetids. A satisfactory agreement of the theoretical and observed geocentric radiants and orbits allows one to conclude that the above showers could have been resulted from the decay of the P/Machholz nucleus. The age of the stream is estimated to be 7.5 millennia.
