en 2006 August Alexander V. Krivov; Artem G. Feofilov; Valeri V. Dikarev Search for the putative dust belts of Mars: The late 2007 opportunity w:Planetary and Space Science 54 9–10 873 10.1016/j.pss.2006.05.007 To study the observability of the martian dust belts in this paper, we employed our dynamical code that numerically integrates orbit-averaged equations of motion of a circummartian particle in Lagrange elements derived by Krivov et al. (1996), which we recently generalized to accommodate the Poynting–Robertson drag (Makuch et al., 2005).
