The radiants in RA and Dec of the 472 fastest (vhel ≧ 44 km s−1 ) events along with the radiants of some known meteor showers and some relevant fiducial directions such as the Galactic Center. For the showers, the 10 most active annual IAU meteors showers that are seen by GMN (that is, that contain significant mm sized particles) and that have in-atmosphere speeds below 50 km/s. Directional values: the position of the Galactic Center (Reid & Brunthaler 2004); the Solar apex with respect to the Local Standard of Rest (LSR) (Jaschek & Valbousquet 1992); the Solar apex with respect to the Galactic frame (Solar Galactic Apex); and the interstellar dust (ISD) influx direction into the Solar System as reported by spacecraft Cassini, Ulysses, and Galileo, due to the motion of the Solar System through the Local Interstellar Cloud (LIC) (Sterken et al. 2012). No strong signature of the Galaxy or of meteor showers is seen. -- astro-ph.EP
