Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS): Properties of Debris Dust around Solar-type Stars
John M. Carpenter, Jeroen Bouwman, Eric E. Mamajek +12
We present Spitzer photometric (IRAC and MIPS) and spectroscopic (IRS low resolution) observations for 314 stars in the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS) Legacy p…
The Complete Census of 70-um-Bright Debris Disks within the FEPS (Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems) Spitzer Legacy Survey of Sun-like Stars
Lynne A. Hillenbrand, John M. Carpenter, Jinyoung Serena Kim +7
(abbreviated) We report detection with the Spitzer Space Telescope of cool dust surrounding solar type stars. The observations were performed as part of the Legacy Science Program,…
Evolution of Mid-IR Excess Around Sun-like Stars: Constraints on Models of Terrestrial Planet Formation
M. R. Meyer, J. M. Carpenter, E. E. Mamajek +11
We report observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) regarding the frequency of 24 micron excess emission toward sun-like stars. Our unbiased sample is comprised of 309 st…
The Dust and Gas Around beta Pictoris
C. H. Chen, A. Li, C. Bohac +12
We have obtained Spitzer IRS 5.5 - 35 micron spectroscopy of the debris disk around beta Pictoris. In addition to the 10 micron silicate emission feature originally observed from t…
Discovery of Two T Dwarf Companions with the Spitzer Space Telescope
K. L. Luhman, B. M. Patten, M. Marengo +12
We report the discovery of T dwarf companions to the nearby stars HN Peg (G0V, 18.4 pc, ~0.3 Gyr) and HD 3651 (K0V, 11.1 pc, ~7 Gyr). During an ongoing survey of 5'x5' fields surro…
A Re-appraisal of the Habitability of Planets Around M Dwarf Stars
Jill C. Tarter, Peter R. Backus, Rocco L. Mancinelli +29
Stable, hydrogen-burning, M dwarf stars comprise about 75% of all stars in the Galaxy. They are extremely long-lived and because they are much smaller in mass than the Sun (between…
