A Search for Collisions and Planet-Disk Interactions in the Beta Pictoris Disk with 26 Years of High Precision HST/STIS Imaging

Arin M. Avsar, Kevin Wagner, Dániel Apai +2

Beta Pictoris (Beta Pic)'s well-studied debris disk and two known giant planets, in combination with the stability of HST/STIS (and now also JWST), offers a unique opportunity to t…

Deepest limits on scattered light emission from the Epsilon Eridani inner debris disk with HST/STIS

Sai Krishanth P. M., Ewan S. Douglas, Ramya M. Anche +9

Epsilon Eridani ( Eri) is one of the first debris disk systems detected by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). However, the system has thus far eluded detection in scatt…

MIRI MRS Observations of Beta Pictoris II. The Spectroscopic Case for a Recent Giant Collision

Christine H. Chen, Cicero X. Lu, Kadin Worthen +17

Modeling observations of the archetypal debris disk around Pic, obtained in 2023 January with the MIRI MRS on board JWST, reveals significant differences compared with that obt…

JWST-TST High Contrast: JWST/NIRCam observations of the young giant planet Pic b

Jens Kammerer, Kellen Lawson, Marshall D. Perrin +14

We present the first JWST/NIRCam observations of the directly-imaged gas giant exoplanet Pic b. Observations in six filters using NIRCam's round coronagraphic masks provide a h…

A Uniform Analysis of Debris Disks with the Gemini Planet Imager II: Constraints on Dust Density Distribution Using Empirically-Informed Scattering Phase Functions

Justin Hom, Jennifer Patience, Christine H. Chen +40

Spatially-resolved images of debris disks are necessary to determine disk morphological properties and the scattering phase function (SPF) which quantifies the brightness of scatte…

MIRI MRS Observations of Beta Pictoris I. The Inner Dust, the Planet, and the Gas

Kadin Worthen, Christine H. Chen, David R. Law +15

We present JWST MIRI Medium Resolution Spectrograph (MRS) observations of the Pictoris system. We detect an infrared excess from the central unresolved point source from 5 to 7…

JWST-TST High Contrast: Asymmetries, dust populations and hints of a collision in the Pictoris disk with NIRCam and MIRI

Isabel Rebollido, Christopher C. Stark, Jens Kammerer +21

We present the first JWST MIRI and NIRCam observations of the prominent debris disk around Beta Pictoris. Coronagraphic observations in 8 filters spanning from 1.8 to 23~m provi…
