Multiwavelength Vertical Structure in the AU Mic Debris Disk: Characterizing the Collisional Cascade

David Vizgan, A. Meredith Hughes, Evan S. Carter +9

Debris disks are scaled-up analogs of the Kuiper Belt in which dust is generated by collisions between planetesimals. In the "collisional cascade" model of debris disks, dust lost…

The Mass of Stirring Bodies in the AU Mic Debris Disk Inferred from Resolved Vertical Structure

Cail Daley, A. Meredith Hughes, Evan S. Carter +9

The vertical distribution of dust in debris disks is sensitive to the number and size of large planetesimals dynamically stirring the disk, and is therefore well-suited for constra…

A Complete ALMA Map of the Fomalhaut Debris Disk

Meredith A. MacGregor, Luca Matra, Paul Kalas +14

We present ALMA mosaic observations at 1.3 mm (223 GHz) of the Fomalhaut system with a sensitivity of 14 Jy/beam. These observations provide the first millimeter map of the cont…

Avoiding resonance capture in multi-planet extrasolar systems

Margaret Pan, Hilke E. Schlichting

A commonly noted feature of the population of multi-planet extrasolar systems is the rarity of planet pairs in low-order mean-motion resonances. We revisit the physics of resonance…

Apocenter glow in eccentric debris disks: implications for Fomalhaut and epsilon Eridani

Margaret Pan, Erika R. Nesvold, Marc J. Kuchner

Debris disks often take the form of eccentric rings with azimuthal asymmetries in surface brightness. Such disks are often described as showing "pericenter glow", an enhancement of…

On the mass and origin of Chariklo's rings

Margaret Pan, Yanqin Wu

Observations in 2013 and 2014 of the Centaur 10199 Chariklo and its ring system consistently indicated that the radial width of the inner, more massive ring varies with longitude.…
