A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris disk stars I. Probing the hot dust content around Eridani and τ Ceti with CHARA/FLUOR
Context. The quest for hot dust in the central region of debris disks requires high resolution and high dynamic range imaging. Nearinfrared interferometry is a powerful means to directly detect faint emission from hot grains. Aims. We probed the first 3 AU around τCeti and Eridani with the CHARA array (Mt Wilson, USA) in order to gauge the 2 μm excess flux emanating from possible hot dust grain...
متن کاملA near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disk stars
Context. Detecting and characterizing circumstellar dust is a way to study the architecture and evolution of planetary systems. Cold dust in debris disks only traces the outer regions. Warm and hot exozodiacal dust needs to be studied in order to trace regions close to the habitable zone. Aims. We aim to determine the prevalence and to constrain the properties of hot exozodiacal dust around nea...
متن کاملA near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disc stars - VI. Extending the exozodiacal light survey with CHARA/JouFLU
We report the results of high-angular-resolution observations that search for exozodiacal light in a sample of main sequence stars and sub-giants. Using the “jouvence” of the fiber linked unit for optical recombination (JouFLU) at the center for high angular resolution astronomy (CHARA) telescope array, we have observed a total of 44 stars. Out of the 44 stars, 33 are new stars added to the ini...
متن کاملAstronomy & Astrophysics Circumstellar material in the Vega inner system revealed by CHARA / FLUOR
Context. Only a handful of debris disks have been imaged up to now. Due to the need for high dynamic range and high angular resolution, very little is known about the inner planetary region, where small amounts of warm dust are expected to be found. Aims. We investigate the close neighbourhood of Vega with the help of infrared stellar interferometry and estimate the integrated K-band flux origi...
متن کاملHot circumstellar material around Vega
Using the FLUOR beam-combiner at the CHARA Array, we have obtained highprecision visibility measurements of Vega, a prototypic debris-disk star. The combination of long and short baselines has allowed us to separately resolve the stellar photosphere and the close environment of the star (< 8 AU). Our observations show a significant deficit in square visibility at short baselines with respect to...
