Close stellar encounters with planetesimal discs: The dynamics of asymmetry in the Beta Pictoris system
J. D. Larwood, P. G. Kalas
We numerically investigate the dynamics of how a close stellar fly-by encounter of a symmetrical circumstellar planetesimal disc can give rise to the many kinds of asymmetries and…

A stellar fly-by simulation giving Beta Pic's disc asymmetries
J. Larwood, P. Kalas
We have numerically investigated the dynamics of how a close stellar fly-by encounter of a symmetrical circumstellar planetesimal disc can give rise to the many kinds of asymmetrie…

Rings in the Planetesimal Disk of Beta Pic
P. Kalas, J. Larwood, B. A. Smith +1
The nearby main sequence star Beta Pictoris is surrounded by an edge-on disk of dust produced by the collisional erosion of larger planetesimals. Here we report the discovery of su…
