Debris disks: structure, composition, and variability

AM Hughes, G Duchêne… - Annual Review of …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Debris disks are tenuous, dust-dominated disks commonly observed around stars over a
wide range of ages. Those around main sequence stars are analogous to the Solar System's …

Evidence is now compelling that elements heavier than helium in many white dwarf
atmospheres have accumulated by accretion from orbiting rocky bodies, often larger than …

Spatially resolved imaging of the inner Fomalhaut disk using JWST/MIRI

A Gáspár, SG Wolff, GH Rieke, JM Leisenring… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Planetary debris disks around other stars are analogous to the asteroid and Kuiper belts in
the Solar System. Their structure reveals the configuration of small bodies and provides …

Asteroid belts in debris disk twins: Vega and Fomalhaut

KYL Su, GH Rieke, R Malhotra… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
Vega and Fomalhaut are similar in terms of mass, ages, and global debris disk properties;
therefore, they are often referred to as" debris disk twins." We present Spitzer 10–35 μm …

SONS: The JCMT legacy survey of debris discs in the submillimetre

WS Holland, BC Matthews, GM Kennedy… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Debris discs are evidence of the ongoing destructive collisions between planetesimals, and
their presence around stars also suggests that planets exist in these systems. In this paper …

Resolved debris discs around A stars in the Herschel DEBRIS survey

M Booth, G Kennedy, B Sibthorpe… - Monthly Notices of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
The majority of debris discs discovered so far have only been detected through infrared
excess emission above stellar photospheres. While disc properties can be inferred from …

A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disc stars-III. First statistics based on 42 stars observed with CHARA/FLUOR

O Absil, D Defrere, VC Du Foresto, E Di Folco… - Astronomy & …, 2013 - aanda.org
Context. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems owing to the
dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known …

Do two-temperature debris discs have multiple belts?

GM Kennedy, MC Wyatt - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
We present a study of debris discs whose spectra are well modelled by dust emission at two
different temperatures. These discs are typically assumed to be a sign of multiple belts …
