Epsilon Eridani’s Planetary Debris Disk: Structure and Dynamics based on Spitzer and CSO Observations
Spitzer and Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) images and spectrophotometry of ǫ Eridani at wavelengths from 3.5 to 350 μm reveal new details of its bright debris disk. The 350 μm map confirms the presence of a ring at r = 11–28 (35–90 AU) observed previously at longer sub-mm wavelengths. The Spitzer midand far-IR images do not show the ring, but rather a featureless disk extending from wi...
متن کاملThe Vega Debris Disk – a Surprise from Spitzer
We present high spatial resolution midand far-infrared images of the Vega debris disk obtained with the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS). The disk is well resolved and its angular size is much larger than found previously. The radius of the disk is at least 43 (330 AU), 70 (543 AU), and 105 (815 AU) in extent at 24, 70 and 160 μm, respectively. The disk images are circular, smoot...
متن کاملOn the AU Mic Debris Disk Density Profiles , Grain Properties and Dust Dynamics
Context. AU Mic is a young M-type star surrounded by an edge-on optically thin debris disk that shares many common observational properties with the disk around β Pictoris. In particular, the scattered light surface brightness profile falls off as ∼ r −5 outside 120 AU for β Pictoris and 35 AU for AU Mic. In both cases, the disk color raises with increasing distance beyond these reference radii...
متن کاملOphiuchus: A Possible Beta Pictoris Analog Measured with the Keck Interferometer Nuller
We present observations of the 51 Ophiuchi circumstellar disk made with the Keck interferometer operating in nulling mode at N-band. We model these data simultaneously with VLTI-MIDI visibility data and a Spitzer IRS spectrum using a variety of optically-thin dust cloud models and an edge-on opticallythick disk model. We find that single-component optically-thin disk models and optically-thick ...
متن کاملThe Edge of the Solar System
The population of the Kuiper Belt within 50 AU of the Sun has likely been severely depleted by gravitational perturbations from the giant planets, particularly Neptune. The density of Kuiper Belt objects is expected to be two orders of magnitude higher just beyond 50 AU, where planetary perturbations are insignificant. In 1998 and 1999, we surveyed for Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs) in 6 fields of ...
