Aurigids is a meteor shower occurring primarily within September.[2]
The comet Kiess (C/1911 N1) is the source of the material that causes the meteors. The comet's orbital period is approximately 2000 to 2100 years,[3] with showers observed in the years 1935, '86, '94 and 2007 .[4][5]
α & δ
The Alpha were discovered by C. Hoffmeister and A. Teichgraeber, during the night of 31 August 1935.[6][7]
