A parent body search across several video meteor data bases

A search method that uses all the known parent bodies with their individual orbital elements as the starting point, has been found to find statistically significant associations across a variety of meteor data bases. By applying it to the combined CMN-SonotaCo data bases (114, 280 SonotaCo 2007-2011 ; 19, 372 CMN 2007-2010), 43 comets were associated with meteor showers of which 23 were present in the IAU MDC list, 14 potential new meteor showers found, and in 6 cases the shower could be connected to more than one parent body. Additionally, it was revealed that 43 asteroids with inclination over 15$^o$ could be connected to meteor showers. Lastly, by using a modified search that compared each meteor to all other meteors in the data base, 1093 groupings with more than 10 meteors could be new minor showers, as well as an additional 6 showers possibly associated to a parent body. Altogether 56, 486 meteors (42\%) are in one of these groups, but further analysis is needed to prove that they are indeed minor showers.
