Radiant positions are listed in right ascension and declination coordinates. The column "V" is the velocity in kilometers per second. The letter "r" is the population index. "Code" is the abbreviation for the shower that observers should use when reporting meteor observations. Periodic showers are listed as "var" under the ZHR column.
