Sigma Hydrids


Sigma Hydrids are a faint, minor meteor shower that peak around 7 December. The ZHR is 3-7 and population index is 3. They are active from November 22 to January 4.
Sigma hydrids were discovered by Richard E. McCrosky and Annette Posen.

2023

Long-period comet C/2023 P1 has been suggested to be the parent body of the meteor shower and came to perihelion in September 2023. There is a chance of increased activity during the 2023 meteor shower if Earth passes through older meteoroid streams that have had time to spread out over the comets orbit.
