Fomalhaut's debris disc is not dominated by primordial Plutos

Tim D. Pearce, Torsten Löhne, Alexander V. Krivov

A key challenge in debris-disc science is that we do not know the masses of debris discs, nor the sizes of the largest debris bodies. This is because modern observations can only d…

Collisional damping in debris discs: Only significant if collision velocities are low

Marija R. Jankovic, Mark C. Wyatt, Torsten Löhne

Context. Dusty debris discs around main sequence stars are observed to vary widely in terms of their vertical thickness. Their vertical structure may be affected by damping in inel…

Gap carving by a migrating planet embedded in a massive debris disc

Marc F. Friebe, Tim D. Pearce, Torsten Löhne

When considering gaps in debris discs, a typical approach is to invoke clearing by an unseen planet within the gap, and derive the planet mass using Wisdom overlap or Hill radius a…

Fomalhaut b could be massive and sculpting the narrow, eccentric debris disc, if in mean-motion resonance with it

Tim D. Pearce, Hervé Beust, Virginie Faramaz +4

The star Fomalhaut hosts a narrow, eccentric debris disc, plus a highly eccentric companion Fomalhaut b. It is often argued that Fomalhaut b cannot have significant mass, otherwise…

Solar System Physics for Exoplanet Research

J. Horner, S. R. Kane, J. P. Marshall +13

Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our understanding of the cosmos - the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just one plane…

Twisted debris: how differential secular perturbations shape debris disks

J. A. Sende, T. Löhne

Resolved images suggest that asymmetric structures are a common feature of cold debris disks. While planets close to these disks are rarely detected, their hidden presence and grav…

The Scattered Disc of HR 8799

Fabian Geiler, Alexander Krivov, Mark Booth +1

HR~8799 is a young F0-type star with four directly imaged giant planets and two debris belts, one located exterior and another one interior to the region occupied by the planetary…

Deep ALMA Search for CO Gas in the HD 95086 Debris Disc

Mark Booth, Luca Matrà, Kate Y. L. Su +7

One of the defining properties of debris discs compared to protoplanetary discs used to be their lack of gas, yet small amounts of gas have been found around an increasing number o…

Collisional and Thermal Emission Models of Debris Disks: Towards Planetesimal Population Properties

Alexander V. Krivov, Sebastian Müller, Torsten Löhne +1

Debris disks around main-sequence stars are believed to derive from planetesimal populations that have accreted at early epochs and survived possible planet formation processes. Wh…

Long-Term Collisional Evolution of Debris Disks

Torsten Löhne, Alexander V. Krivov, Jens Rodmann

We simulated the long-term collisional depletion of debris disks around solar-type (G2V) stars with our code. The numerical results were supplemented by, and interpreted through, a…
