Abstract

The densest and most dynamic portion of the zodiacal dust cloud is Sunward of 1 AU. In this region, alpha meteoroids migrating sunward via Poynting-Robertson drag become dense enough for frequent collisions, outward propagating beta meteoroids are created, and dust grains can be efficiently sputtered and sublimated. Finally, the dust trails of comets and asteroids with perihelia under 1 AU stream through this region.
