Optical Images of an Exosolar Planet 25 Light Years from Earth

Paul Kalas, James R. Graham, Eugene Chiang +6

Fomalhaut is a bright star 7.7 parsecs (25 light years) from Earth that harbors a belt of cold dust with a structure consistent with gravitational sculpting by an orbiting planet.…

CARMA Millimeter-Wave Aperture Synthesis Imaging of the HD 32297 Debris Disk

H. L. Maness, M. P. Fitzgerald, R. Paladini +3

We present the first detection and mapping of the HD 32297 debris disk at 1.3 mm with the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA). With a sub-arcsecond bea…

The AU Microscopii Debris Disk: Multiwavelength Imaging and Modeling

Michael P. Fitzgerald, Paul G. Kalas, Gaspard Duchene +2

(abridged) Debris disks around main sequence stars are produced by the erosion and evaporation of unseen parent bodies. AU Microscopii (GJ 803) is a compelling object to study in t…
