(a) The semimajor axis, a, distribution of the low-inclination (i ≤ 10°) KBOs (blue line), and of the newly released particles, a*, for β = 0.3 (green) and 0.4 (red); (b) The eccentricity distributions of parent bodies, e, and the new dust particles, e*; (c) the radial density distributions, each curve normalized to the total number of KBOs (2320) or dust particles (2290 and 2200); (d) the fraction of the ejected particles generated from all low-inclination KBOs as a function of β. The dots show the results of a full numerical solution of the equation of motion for various radii (measured in μm) olivine-type particles (Poppe 2016).
