Abstract

The orbital evolution of NEA Apophis was investigated for the time interval of 12 kyrs, geocentric coordinates of radiants and velocities of theoretically related meteor showers were calculated, as well the dates of their activity were determined. As a result of a search among the fireball observations, on two fireballs for northern and southern branches of the nighttime shower were found. These fireballs, having the parameters close to predicted ones, probably, were produced by the fragments of the asteroid Apophis. It is recommended to carry out meteor and fireball observations on the predicted dates of shower activity of ±7 days in order to record meteor phenomena, possibly generated by fragments of asteroid Apophis.
