Planetary Perturbations: Effects on the Shape of a Cloud of Dust in Circular Heliocentric Orbits
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Synthetic infrared pictures are used to illustrate changes in the shape of portions of an interplanetary dust-cloud. The dust particles, in circular heliocentric orbits, are perturbed by radiation and corpuscular forces combined with gravitational disturbances by the major planets. Dust in the inner solar system and close to the ecliptic or the orbital plane of Venus is brought to a more narrow range of ecliptic latitudes. A dust-band evolves near and inside the orbit of Venus. The cloud’s shape is less affected at high ecliptic latitudes.
