Gravitational Stirring in Planetary Debris Disks
We describe gravitational stirring models of planetary debris disks using a new multi-annulus planetesimal evolution code. The current code includes gravitational stirring and dynamical friction; future studies will include coagulation, fragmentation, Poynting-Robertson drag, and other physical processes. We use the results of our calculations to investigate the physical conditions required for...
متن کاملPlanetary embryos and planetesimals residing in thin debris disks
We consider constraints on the planetesimal population residing in the disks of AU Microscopii, Beta Pictoris and Fomalhaut taking into account their observed thicknesses and normal disk opacities. We estimate that bodies of radius 5, 180 and 70 km are responsible for initiating the collisional cascade accounting for the dust production for AU-Mic, Beta-Pic and Fomalhaut’s disks, respectively, ...
متن کاملImaging Circumstellar Debris Disks
In the early 1980s, the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) detected thermal emission from dust grains with temperatures of 50-125 K and fractional luminosities (Lgrains/L∗) in the range 10 -10 around four main sequence stars: Vega, Fomalhaut, β Pictoris, and ǫ Eridani. Coronagraphic observations of β Pic confirmed that the grains do indeed lie in a disk, perhaps associated with a young planeta...
متن کاملDebris Disks in Ngc 2547
We have surveyed the 30 Myr-old cluster NGC 2547 for planetary debris disks using Spitzer. At 4.5–8 μm we are sensitive to the photospheric level down to mid-M stars (0.2 M⊙) and at 24 μm to early-G stars (1.2 M⊙). We find only two to four stars with excesses at 8 μm out of ∼400–500 cluster members, resulting in an excess fraction .1% at this wavelength. By contrast, the excess fraction at 24 μ...
متن کاملPlanetary migration in protoplanetary disks
In the current paper, we further develop the model for the migration of planets introduced in Del Popolo et al. (2001) and extended to timedependent planetesimal accretion discs in Del Popolo & Ekşi (2002). We use a method developed by Stepinski & Valageas (1996, 1997), that is able to simultaneously follow the evolution of gas and solid particles for up to 10yr. The disc model is coupled to th...
