Scientific paper

In a recent study we have modeled the orbital evolution of dust particles released from comets and asteroids in the solar system. The source bodies were either asteroids inside Jupiter's orbit or comets from the Jupiter family of comets. However there are other dust producing parent bodies in the solar system of interest, one of these is comet P/Schwassman-Wachmann 1. Since comet Schwassman-Wachmann 1, which has an orbit outside of Jupiter's orbit, is an active dust producer and has low eccentricity, dust particle evolution from it is of interest. We report on a particular 2 micron radius particle that captured into a 1 to 1 mean motion resonance orbit with Saturn.
