Of Horseshoes and Heliotropes: Dynamics of Dust in the Encke Gap
M. M. Hedman, J. A. Burns, D. P. Hamilton +1
The Encke Gap is a 320-km-wide opening in Saturn's outer A ring that contains the orbit of the small moon Pan and an array of dusty features composed of particles less than 100 mic…
The Fate of Sub-micron Circumplanetary Dust Grains II: Multipolar Fields
Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Douglas P. Hamilton
We study the radial and vertical stability of dust grains launched with all charge-to-mass ratios at arbitrary distances from rotating planets with complex magnetic fields. We show…
Long-Term Stability of Horseshoe Orbits
Matija Ćuk, Douglas P. Hamilton, Matthew J. Holman
Unlike Trojans, horseshoe coorbitals are not generally considered to be long-term stable (Dermott and Murray, 1981; Murray and Dermott, 1999). As the lifetime of Earth's and Venus'…
The Fate of Sub-Micron Circumplanetary Dust Grains I: Aligned Dipolar Magnetic Fields
Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Douglas P. Hamilton
We study the stability of charged dust grains orbiting a planet and subject to gravity and the electromagnetic force. Our numerical models cover a broad range of launch distances f…
