Scientific paper

We present initial results from our re-analysis of the complete Galileo Dust Detection System (DDS) data set in the Galilean satellite region. We focus on assessing the claim of [7] for detection of retrograde particles, which would have profound implications for the dominant sources of dust in the region. We model the full set of detectable orbits at each impact location, and are able to separate a fraction of impacts that cannot be the result of prograde or retrograde circular planar orbits. We discuss characteristics of the impact angle distributions that may suggest a retrograde source.
