Fluxes of Dust Particles in the Martian System

Abstract

We have calculated the mass fluxes and dust particle fluxes the presence of which in orbits around Mars is due to collisions between meteoroids with Phobos and Deimos. The size distributions of dust particles captured in orbits around Mars are determined. Knowledge of the parameters of these particles is important when planning experiments to dust study in the system of Mars as part of future space missions.
