The dynamical behavior of dust particles ejected from Martian satellites is examined. On the basis of numerical simulations and analytical estimation for the orbital evolution of particles, we have found that there exists two kinds of resonance orbits around Mars. Particles ejected from Phobos and Deimos are influenced by these orbital resonances, and form dust rings with an asymmetrical structure along the orbit of the satellite, i.e., dust rings with a thin disk-like shape for Phobos and with a vertically extended structure for Deimos.
