A debris disk (American English), or debris disc (Commonwealth English), is a circumstellar disk of dust and debris in orbit around a star. Sometimes...

coming from a two-lobed structure that looked like a debris disk seen edge-on. This debris disk interpreted as an analogy to the Kuiper belt with a semi-major...

the debris disks around these examples (e.g. Vega, Alphecca, Fomalhaut, etc.) are not truly "protoplanetary", but represent a later stage of disk evolution...

have a circumstellar disk of dust. This dust is likely to be the result of collisions between objects in an orbiting debris disk, which is analogous to...

piece of space debris falling to Earth leaves a fiery trail, just like a meteor. A debris disk is a circumstellar disk of dust and debris in orbit around...

the white dwarf, until it will eventually sublimate and the disk will disappear. A debris disk will have a lifetime of around a few million years for white...

interaction with a more massive one; the light white dwarf gives rise to a debris disk that generates a planet while the larger white dwarf becomes a pulsar...

by several debris disks. The inner disk is a high-carbon small-grain (10–300 nm) ash disk, clustering at 0.1 AU from the star. Next is a disk of larger...

use of direct imagery. Both planets are orbiting in the plane of the debris disk surrounding the star. Beta Pictoris c is currently the closest extrasolar...

star. Like β Pictoris, AU Microscopii has a circumstellar disk of dust known as a debris disk and at least two exoplanets, with the presence of an additional...

be a Jovian planet between 3 and 20 AU from the star. Because of its debris disk, any planet orbiting Tau Ceti would face far more impact events than...

excess and could be similar to Peter Pan disks. 2MASS 08093547-4913033, which is one of the M-dwarfs with a debris disk in NGC 2547 was observed with the Spitzer...

9 times its luminosity. It is part of a system that also contains a debris disk and at least four massive planets. These planets were the first exoplanets...

three planets discovered using the radial velocity method, along with a debris disk. The system's notability is due primarily to early exoplanetology discoveries...

inner radius. Protoplanetary disks and debris disks can be imaged with different methods. If the disk is seen edge-on, the disk can sometimes block the light...

circumstellar disks that have published resolved images. Many of them are protoplanetary disks or debris disks. Only some are transitional disks between protoplanetary...

were updated in 2023. In 2005, the Spitzer Space Telescope detected a debris disk in the HD 69830 system consistent with being produced by an asteroid...

planet exists such that it has created those accumulations. Disks of space dust (debris disks) surround many stars. The dust can be detected because it...

98800 A and HD 98800 B each of which contains two stars. In 2007, a debris disk was discovered orbiting HD 98800 B consisting of two rings which indicates...

Solar System's age. In December 2013, a debris disk was discovered around this star. This is the second debris disk in the system, as a first one was discovered...

(/ˌplænɪˈtɛsɪməlz/) are solid objects thought to exist in protoplanetary disks and debris disks. Believed to have formed in the Solar System about 4.6 billion years...

between 550–1400 K. It may be a debris disk created from asteroids broken apart by the star's gravity. The inner disk is optically thick with an inner...

wavelength of 160 μm. This indicated the presence of a debris disk in orbit around the star. This disk was resolved at 70 μm. It was then thought to correspond...

949 planetary systems, with 1007 systems having more than one planet. Debris disks are known to be common while other objects are more difficult to observe...

out of a nebula to create a young protostar orbited by a protoplanetary disk. There are eight planets within the Solar System; planets outside of the...

debris disk A ring-shaped circumstellar disc of dust and debris orbiting its host star. It is created by collisions between planetesimals. A debris disk...

Myr old star system in the Carina constellation with a circumstellar debris disk orbiting an M-type red dwarf about 331 lightyears from Earth. On October...

Scorpius–Centaurus association. The star is surrounded by a debris disk oriented 21 degrees away from HD 106906 b; this disk is about 65 AU (10 billion km; 6 billion mi)...

Orbiting the star is a dusty debris disk with a combined mass of about 2.9 × 10−2 times the mass of the Earth. This disk can be detected because it is...

the core behind. This crust and mantle material would then form the debris disk, which is now detected around the white dwarf. At first the size of the...
