ALMA observations of the η Corvi debris disc: inward scattering of CO-rich exocomets by a chain of 3-30 M⊕ planets?
While most of the known debris discs present cold dust at tens of AU, a few young systems
exhibit hot dust analogous to the Zodiacal dust. η Corvi is particularly interesting as it is old …

Insights into the planetary dynamics of HD 206893 with ALMA
Radial substructure in the form of rings and gaps has been shown to be ubiquitous among
protoplanetary discs. This could be the case in exo-Kuiper belts as well, and evidence for …
