Examples of the dust simulation result from nominal Phaethon ejection. The ejection epoch is labeled at the top in Julian date format (and its corresponding year is in brackets). The left plots show random samples of particle orbits on the ecliptic plane at the present day (JD 2459000.5). The right plots are the histograms of the MOID of particles to Earth, and the Earth radius and Earth-Moon distance marked by dotted lines.
