August Iota Cetids, a Possible New Meteor Shower in August

The Croatian Meteor Network Catalogs of Orbits for 2007 to 2010 contain 19055 orbits, of which 8410 can be attributed to previously known streams. The radiant analysis of the remaining orbits, plus the orbits from SonotaCo catalogs for 2007 to 2009, revealed a possible new stream. This stream was assigned IAU shower number 505 and three-letter code AIC. The analysis was recently rerun with orbits from SonotaCo databases for the years 2010--2011, resulting in a total of 120 orbits belonging to the AIC stream with refined mean orbit, radiant position and daily motion. The stream is active in August and September.
