Scientific paper

In a series of recent papers we predicted the existence of stable nonequatorial halo orbits of charged dust grains within the magnetosphere of Saturn. Now we consider how such orbits might be populated and their stability to time dependent charging as they visit different regions of the magnetosphere. In general we find that it is easier to generate prograde orbits than retrograde orbits. Results will be presented on lifetime limitations of various types of orbits due to time dependent charging. These model calculations will be extended to make predictions for the Cassini Cosmic Dust Analyzer measurements at Saturn.
