Scientific paper

The orbit-averaged differential equations of motion of dust particles under gravity, radiation pressure and Poynting-Robertson drag were given by Wyatt and Whipple (1950). An integral of motion enables the system of two equations in semi-major axis a and eccentricity e to be reduced to one equation, the solution of which is presented here in terms of analytical formulae. An efficient numerical algorithm to compute the solution is given. Listings of two FORTRAN routines are included.
