a star of age P a few hundred million years with a similarly 5 massive planet on a wide orbit would have k 10À . Spitzer 6 should generally be capable of detecting as small as 10À . Thus, if the dust-planet connection is as strong as we suggest, then Jupiter-mass planets on wide orbits will rarely, if ever, be detected around young stars that lack Spitzer-detected far-IR excess emission. The same may be true for Saturn or even Neptune mass planets, although these, of course, will be much Fig. 8.—Same as Fig. 1 harder to detect. 3. CONCLUSIONS Table 1 should be observed with AO and at what wavelength. Indeed, an AO system has been commissioned on the VLT only Recent imaging observations and analysis of structure in the within the past year, and Gemini North and South and Subaru dusty debris disks that surround a handful of nearby stars have had no or only rudimentary AO systems. suggest that they possess planets on wide orbits (tens of AU). That said, for a given star/dust angular separation (col. [10] Thus, dusty stars, whether imaged or not, are excellent targets in Table 1), planet detectability is maximized by observing the for planet searches. Young stars with cool dust make the best youngest, closest stars to Earth. For example, a 2 MJ planet targets for adaptive optics and HST imaging programs. Older will fade by 5–6 mag, in an absolute sense and also relative to stars and those with somewhat warmer dust might be better the brightness of its star, at the H and K bands as it ages from investigated with precision radial velocities.

A planet of Table 1 are of later spectral types. given mass, age, and semimajor axis will be harder to detect Looking toward the future, one anticipates that Spitzer will close to an intrinsically luminous A-type star than one of search for dusty debris at all nearby stars that have been K type. However, if more massive planets, perhaps with identified as very young (e.g., Zuckerman et al. 2001a; Song larger semimajor axes, form near the relatively more massive et al. 2003). Since the presence of cool dust would point stars, then this might more than compensate for the unfavor- toward the existence of planets on wide orbits accessible to able contrast ratio.

Planets are probably more likely around more massive stars.
Multi-planet systems are also probably more likely at wide separations. Dynamic Analysis Fabrycky & Murray-Clay 2009 Not perfectly face-on & not perfectly circular Non-resonance cases = masses need to be lower (< 2Mjup) 4:2:1 resonance 2:1 resonance for c & d: some cases stable for age
4:2:1 resonance: stable up to ~20 MJup & 60 Myr.

Nearly face-on circular orbits (20< i < 30 degrees)
Lower mass, younger age (<50 Myr) lower than 7-10 MJup

HR 8799, first directly image of a multi-planet system. First at separation similar to the outer planets of our solar system.
Peculiar star: Lambda boo, Gamma Dor & Vega-like.
Cooling tracks: ~7-10 MJup from 25-70 AU, twice the SS size. ~800-1000K and 1.2 RJup. Supported by color - look like 2M1207b
Evidences ~face-on orbits/~circular orbits/~coplanar/ star view ~ by the pole - formed in a disk.
Dynamic simulations = lower masses & 4:2:1 resonance.
