Number of hyperbolic events from the CAMS database with extreme excesses of heliocentric velocities (exceeding the parabolic limit by more than 10 km s⁻¹) for selected intervals of their geocentric velocities υ_ɡ. The x-axis shows the selected intervals of excess of heliocentric velocity (from 10 to 45 km s⁻¹, with bin size 5 km s⁻¹) and the bars illustrate the number of events for corresponding υ_ɡ (as stated in the legend) contained within those intervals. The histograms illustrate two distinct features observed in many databases. One, the presence of hyperbolic events, including those with high heliocentric excess velocities, among meteors with low geocentric velocities. Two, the increase in the number of higher heliocentric excess velocities with increasing geocentric velocities of meteors.
