Warm debris disks are a sub-sample of the large population of debris disks, and display excess emission in the mid-infrared. Around solar-type stars, very few objects (∼2% of all debris disks) show emission features in mid-IR spectroscopic observations that are attributed to small, warm silicate dust grains. The origin of this warm dust could be explained either by a recent catastrophic collision between several bodies or by transport from an outer belt similar to the Kuiper belt in the solar system. Aims. We present and analyze new far-IR Herschel/PACS photometric observations, supplemented by new and archival ground-based data in the mid-IR (VLTI/MIDI and VLT/VISIR), for one of these rare systems: the 10–16 Myr old debris disk around HD 113766 A. -

The Metallicity of the Hd 98800 System

We have analyzed high-resolution, high signal-to-noise echelle spectra of the quadruple-star system HD 98800 and using spectrum synthesis computed fits to the composite spectrum for a full range of plausible stellar parameters for the components. We consistently find that subsolar metallicity yields fits with lower χ 2 values, with an overall best fit of [M/H] =−0.20 ± 0.10. This metallicity appears to be consistent with PMS evolutionary tracks for the measured masses and luminosities of the components of HD 98800 but additional constraints on the system and modeling are needed. Key words: stars: abundances – stars: individual (HD 98800) – stars: pre-main sequence Online-only material: color figure 1. THE HD 98800 SYSTEM significantly, primarily because of the different ways the models treat convection. -
Spitzer Team Says Debris Disk Could Be Forming Infant Terrestrial Planets 14 December 2005
Spitzer Team Says Debris Disk Could Be Forming Infant Terrestrial Planets 14 December 2005 an asteroid belt, roughly at the distance Jupiter is from our sun." "This object is very unusual in the context of all the others we've looked at," said University of Arizona assistant astronomy Professor Michael R. Meyer, a colleague in the discovery. Meyer directs a Spitzer Legacy project to study solar system formation and evolution in a sample of 328 young sun-like stars in the Milky Way. The project turned up the unusual system. "This is the only such debris disk among the 33 sun- like stars we've studied in our project so far, and one of only five such objects known," Meyer said. The star, named HD 12039, is about 30 million years old, or the age of the sun when the terrestrial planets are thought to have been 80 percent complete and the Earth-moon system formed, the Astronomers have found a debris disk around a astronomers said. It is roughly 137 light years sun-like star that may be forming or has formed its away, or the distance light travels in 137 years. terrestrial planets. The disk - a probable analog to our asteroid belt - may have begun a solar-system- HD 12039 is a "G" type star like our sun, a yellow scale demolition derby, where the rocky remains of star with surface temperatures between 5,000 and failed planets collide chaotically. 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It hasn't yet settled into the "main sequence," or mature nuclear-burning Image: Scientists can characterize a disk by phase as our sun has. -
