Mutual inclinations between giant planets and their debris discs in HD 113337 and HD 38529

Jerry W. Xuan, Grant M. Kennedy, Mark C. Wyatt +1

HD 113337 and HD 38529 host pairs of giant planets, a debris disc, and wide M-type stellar companions. We measure the disc orientation with resolved images from Herschel and constr…

No significant correlation between radial velocity planet presence and debris disc properties

Ben Yelverton, Grant M. Kennedy, Kate Y. L. Su

We investigate whether the tentative correlation between planets and debris discs which has been previously identified can be confirmed at high significance. We compile a sample of…

A statistically significant lack of debris discs in medium separation binary systems

Ben Yelverton, Grant M. Kennedy, Kate Y. L. Su +1

We compile a sample of 341 binary and multiple star systems with the aim of searching for and characterising Kuiper belt-like debris discs. The sample is assembled by combining sev…

A circumbinary protoplanetary disc in a polar configuration

Grant M. Kennedy, Luca Matrà, Stefano Facchini +6

Nearly all young stars are initially surrounded by `protoplanetary' discs of gas and dust, and in the case of single stars at least 30\% of these discs go on to form planets. The p…

A gap in HD 92945's broad planetesimal disc revealed by ALMA

S. Marino, B. Yelverton, M. Booth +4

In the last few years, multiwavelength observations have revealed the ubiquity of gaps/rings in circumstellar discs. Here we report the first ALMA observations of HD 92945 at 0.86…

Empty gaps? Depleting annular regions in debris discs by secular resonance with a two-planet system

Ben Yelverton, Grant M. Kennedy

We investigate the evolution on secular time-scales of a radially extended debris disc under the influence of a system of two coplanar planets interior to the disc, showing that th…
