Scientific paper

Numerical simulations are conducted for the steady-state size distribution of satellite-vicinity dust ejecta, which act as sources and sinks of dust particles whose orbits are modified by both radiation pressure and planetary oblateness; these generate periodic eccentricity perturbations. A regime of steady-state power-law size distribution steepening is determined by perturbation strength and the size and orbital radius of the satellite. The perturbations considered affect dust particle orbits on shorter timescales than exospheric or plasma-drag forces.
