Abstract
⺠Planetary magnetic fields affect the orbits of Kepler-launched dust grains. ⺠We explore the dynamics of grains at Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Earth. ⺠Non-zero launch impulses have little effect on orbital stability. ⺠Lorentz resonances can destabilize motions causing negative grains to escape. ⺠We explore the sensitivity of dust grain orbits to time-variable charging.
