Scientific paper

Vast ethereal rings composed of micron-sized particles have been detected about the three giant planets so far visited by Voyager. An orbital evolution mechanism for gravitationally dominated circumplanetary dust is identified here that may temporarily overwhelm other processes. Evolution rates that agree with numerical integrations are derived, and it is suggested how this process could affect the location of the faint rings evident today.
