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 …

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 …

Mercury's weather-beaten surface: Understanding Mercury in the context of lunar and asteroidal space weathering studies

DL Domingue, CR Chapman, RM Killen… - Space Science …, 2014 - Springer
Mercury's regolith, derived from the crustal bedrock, has been altered by a set of space
