Scientific paper

The zodiacal dust band phenomenon is presently reproduced by a mathematical model of orbitally evolved collisional debris spatial distributions whose torus exhibits particle-density maxima at heliocentric latitudes near its constituent particles' mean proper orbital inclinations, as well as near the loci of the particle orbits' perihelia and aphelia. Models of dust toruses for seven asteroid families are generated and compared with observations of the principal dust bands. Nonequilibrium models of dust band production and evolution furnish a framework within which all dust band observations can be understood.
