Scientific paper

The vertical dust distribution of dust clouds around planets, resulting from electrostatic forces, is calculated as a function of dust and plasma parameters. Photoelectric charging is included, and differences between clouds on the illuminated side and in the shadow zone are examined. Ring structures are computed for conditions which may apply in the spoke-forming regions, and a study of at what dust and plasma conditions the shadow has a significant effect on the vertical dust cloud structure is performed.
