abstract = {The κ-Cygnids (KCG) were first
observed about 150 years ago [1]. The activity period
of this annual minor shower extends from August 3 to
August 31, peaking on August 18 with a Zenithal
Hourly Rate (ZHR) of about 2.3±0.4 [2, 3]. Because of
the duration of activity and the associated spread in the
longitude of the nodes, Jenniskens suggested that the
KCG stream might be old [2]. However, the analysis
of the outbursts experienced in 1997 and 2007 [4, 5]
suggested an opposite scenario. Besides, observations
support the hypothesis that the formation of this meteoroid
stream is a consequence of the fragmentation of
a comet nucleus [5]. This disruptive process could
have proceeded as a cascade, where the break up of the
progenitor body leaded to produce small remnants,
some fully disintegrated into different clumps of particles
and other remained as dormant objects such as
2008ED69, 2001MG1 and 2004LA12 which are now
observed as near-Earth asteroids. In this work we analyze
a fireball produced by a meteoroid belonging to
the KCG stream on August 2012. Its emission spectrum
was also recorded.},
