Viscously Stirring Particle Disks into Lorentzians and Gaussians to Infer Dynamical and Collisional Masses (ARKS XIII)

Eugene Chiang, Tim D. Pearce, Marija R. Jankovic +16

Disks (Keplerian or otherwise, particulate or fluid) are often assumed to have densities that drop off vertically as Gaussians. Recent mm-wave imaging of circumstellar debris disks…

The multi-wavelength vertical structure of the archetypal Pictoris debris disk

Yinuo Han, Mark C. Wyatt, Marija R. Jankovic +4

Thermal imaging of debris disks is resolving the vertical height in an increasing number of systems, enabling the use of the vertical structure to decode the dynamical state of the…

The vertical structure of debris discs and the role of disc gravity: A primer using a simplified model

Antranik A. Sefilian, Kaitlin M. Kratter, Mark C. Wyatt +4

Debris discs provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. Their structures are commonly attributed to planetary perturbations, serving as pro…

The Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Mechanism as the Cause of Exocomet Transits of KIC 8462852

Steven D. Young, Mark C. Wyatt

KIC 8462852 is a star in the Kepler field that exhibits almost unique behaviour. The deep, irregular and aperiodic dips in its light curve have been interpreted as the breakup of a…

Spitzer Evidence for a Late Heavy Bombardment and the Formation of Urelites in η Corvi at ~1 Gyr

C. M. Lisse, M. C. Wyatt, C. H. Chen +7

We have analyzed Spitzer and NASA/IRTF 2 - 35 \mum spectra of the warm, ~350 K circumstellar dust around the nearby MS star η Corvi (F2V, 1.4 \pm 0.3 Gyr). The spectra show clear e…

Collisional evolution of eccentric planetesimal swarms

M. C. Wyatt, M. Booth, M. J. Payne +1

Models for the steady state collisional evolution of low eccentricity planetesimal belts identify debris disks with hot dust at 1AU, like eta Corvi and HD69830, as anomalous since…
