ABSTRACT

Aims. The surfaces of the Trojan asteroids are steadily bombarded by interplanetary micrometeoroids, which releases ejecta of small dust particles. These particles form the faint dust arcs that are associated with clouds. Here we analyze the particle dynamics and structure of the arc in the region of the L4 Trojan asteroids. Methods. We calculate the total cross section of the L4 Trojan asteroids and the production rate of dust particles. The motion of the particles is perturbed by a variety of forces. We simulate the dynamical evolution of the dust particles, and explore the overall features of the Trojan dust arc. Results. The simulations show that the arc is mainly composed of grains in the size range 4−10 microns. Compared to the L4 Trojan asteroids, the dust arc is distributed more widely in the azimuthal direction, extending to a range of [30, 120] degrees relative to Jupiter. The peak number density does not develop at L4. There exist two peaks that are azimuthally displaced from L4.

In 2021, the NASA 1012 mission will explore the Trojan asteroids in a sequence of

flybys. In this paper, we focus on the dynamical evolution of 11 10 dust expelled from the Trojans. Dust carries information about the composition of its source, which gives important constraints 1010 on the origin and formation of the Trojan group of asteroids.

3. Dynamical model 1.5 The motion of dust particles from the Jupiter Trojans is influ- enced by a variety of forces. The most important forces are solar gravity, solar radiation pressure, Poynting-Robertson drag, solar 1.0 wind drag, the Lorentz force exerted by the interplanetary mag- netic field, and gravitational perturbations from Jupiter and other pr planets (, , , , , and ). Our Q code integrates the equations of motion in the Jupiter orbital in- 0.5 ertial frame Oxyz. Here, the z-axis is defined as the normal to the orbital plane of Jupiter at the J2000 epoch, and the x-axis is aligned with the intersection of the orbital plane and the equato- rial plane of Jupiter at the J2000 epoch.

For 10 particles in the size range [0.5, 2] µm, the value of β is high, im- plying a strong perturbation by solar radiation pressure, which induces high values of the effective semi-major axis and eccen- 10 -1 tricity (Liou & Zook 1995). As a result, these small particles have short lifetimes from tens of years to tens of thousands of years. With increasing grain size, the value of β becomes lower, -2 and therefore the gravity of the Sun (and Jupiter) becomes dom- 10 inant. These particles have longer lifetimes, from one hundred thousand years to several millions of years.
