Francisco A. Espartero, Jos\'e M. Madiedo

TL;DR
This study investigates the Northern -Scorpiid meteor shower's activity, orbits, and emission spectra using observational data from Spain, revealing its likely asteroidal origin and providing the first spectral analysis of this stream.
Contribution
It presents the first detailed emission spectrum of the Northern -Scorpiid meteor shower, along with orbital and physical characterizations based on observational data.
Findings
Orbital parameters suggest an asteroidal origin.
First emission spectrum of this meteor shower analyzed.
Meteor physical properties and trajectory determined.
Abstract
We analyze the activity of the Northern \omega-Scorpiid meteor shower between 2010 and 2012. For this purpose we have employed an array of low-lux CCD video cameras and spectrographs deployed at different astronomical observatories in Spain. As a result of our survey, the atmospheric trajectory and radiant position of 11 of these meteor events were obtained. The tensile strength and orbital parameters of the progenitor meteoroids have been also calculated. The calculated orbital data and the behaviour of these meteoroids in the atmosphere are compatible with an asteroidal origin of this stream. In addition, we discuss a unique emission spectrum recorded for one of these meteors. This is, to our knowledge, the first North {\omega}-Scorpiid spectrum discussed in the scientific literature, and it has provided information about the chemical nature of the meteoroid and the progenitor body.
