• Probability of having orientaons suitable for eclipses is not low (compared to planet transits). • Assume 5-10% of systems have exo- with period distribuon flat in log semi-major axis. Each planet has a circumplanetary disk filling some fracon of its Hill radius. Obliquity/thickness distribuons. • Observe a sample of stars photometricaly for 10 years (so can count all with periods within this)  a few in 104 stars should exhibit circumplanetary disk eclipses. • Only naked eye visible eclipsing disks now known. • Deep long eclipses should be seen. The real problem: Lifemes • Disk lifemes are short. Circumsecondary disks can only be seen clearly in eclipse aer the primary’s disk is gone. • The number of mixed young binary systems (one star with disk and other without) is poorly constrained. If the secondary is low mass or/and the disk contains a hole in it, then these could have been missed from IR surveys of binaries in clusters (Prato, Weinberger, McCabe, DuChene). Binaries in mixed state (one object with disk, other not) are common. Circumplanetary disk sizes and lifemes • Lifemes of circumplanetary disks esmated from theorecal formaon models (e.g., Canup, Ward, Alibert, Estrada, Mosquiera) in the context of Jovian satellite formaon. Models postulate a circumJovian excreon disk with up to 10 A compilaon of centrifugal million year lifeme. disk radius esmates for the • Circumplanetary disk lifemes proto-Jovian disk (Ward & may be longer in outer solar Canup 2010) systems, (e.g. possibly relevant Disk radii in Hill radii for interpretaon of Fomalhaut ξ~0.1-0.3 b) but periods get long! Worst case

• 10 year photometric survey of many stars in the Milky Way disk. • Constant star formaon rate for 1010 years • Disk lifemes 107 years (or correct for your favorite value) • Probably of a star being young enough to host a circumplanetary disk is ~10-3  Only need to survey ~107 stars to find a few disk eclipses (either circumsecondary or circumplanetary) if you pick young stars you don’t have to survey as many … Discovery of J1407’s eclipse

Fine structure might imply a very thin disk with lots of structure, like ’s rings Few hours/30 days gives disk aspect rao of h/r~0.01 Is this structure real or are there pipeline problems with Super WASP? Limits …. • Fracon of period spent in eclipse < 6% This implies that the secondary mass -3 m2 < 20 MJ ξ – Could be a brown dwarf secondary with a disk filling its Roche radius – Could be an M star with a smaller disk – The longer the system seen without eclipses, the lower the mass limit on the secondary (assuming that the disk host is a secondary). • Eclipse length implies that the disk radius is ~ 0.08 AU Long length of eclipse implies a big disk Disk size esmate is only weakly dependent on period.

Similar to EE Cep (but beer as nearer and not involving a B star). • Dense, large, thin disk with rings/gaps. Secondary is probably a low mass star hosng a forming . • We don’t know the eclipse period • We don’t have any informaon • Eclipse searches can tell us about lifemes of late stage disks, and substructure in them in the epoch of planet/ satellite formaon. • Disk eclipses will be found in photometric surveys. – A crude esmate (with assumpons on obliquity, size, mass and period distribuons …), is a few per 104 stars surveyed for 10 years for stars in correct age range or a few per 107 stars mixed ages
