  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).
