| Summary: | The latitude component of the deviation of the photometric centre of the gegenschein from the antisolar point was considered. It was concluded that the centre of the gegenschein is shifted towards the northern hemisphere the respect to ecliptic. Using the catalogues of individual meteor orbits based on photographic, television and radar observations (the materials of the Meteor Data Centre in Lund), the optical theory of the gegenschein was tested. Using the distribution of meteor orbits as a function of the five elements f(i, a, e, Ω, ω), the spatial distribution of the meteor matter is determined. The shift of the maximum density in distribution of the interplanetary dust towards to north from ecliptic is obtained. The deviation of the centre of the gegenschein north of the ecliptic is explained by this result. |
