An icy Kuiper-Belt around the young solar-type star HD 181327

J. Lebreton, J. -C. Augereau, W. -F. Thi +18

HD 181327 is a young F5/F6V star belonging to the Beta Pictoris moving group (12 Myr). It harbors an optically thin belt of circumstellar material at 90 AU. We aim to study the dus…

The influence of non-isotropic scattering of thermal radiation on spectra of brown dwarfs and hot exoplanets

R. J. de Kok, Ch. Helling, D. M. Stam +2

(abridged) We calculate near-infrared thermal emission spectra using a doubling-adding radiative transfer code, which includes scattering by clouds and haze. Initial temperature pr…

The unusual protoplanetary disk around the T Tauri star ET Cha

P. Woitke, B. Riaz, G. Duchene +15

We present new continuum and line observations, along with modelling, of the faint (6-8) Myr old T Tauri star ET Cha belonging to the eta Chamaeleontis cluster. We have acquired HE…
