Resolved debris discs around A stars in the Herschel DEBRIS survey

Abstract: The majority of debris discs discovered so far have only been detected through infrared excess emission above stellar photospheres. While disc properties can be inferred from unresolved photometry alone under various assumptions for the physical properties of dust grains, there is a degeneracy between disc radius and dust temperature that depends on the grain size distribution and optical properties. By resolving the disc we can measure the actual location of the dust. The launch of Herschel, with an angular r… Show more

“…In debris disks the dust temperature at a given radius is often found to be higher than that for blackbody grains, or conversely the observed radial location of the dust grains is larger than predicted for blackbody grains (Booth et al 2013). Previous models of dust emission from the HD 141569 system (Li & Lunine 2003;Nilsson et al 2010) find typical dust temperatures of 50-200 K in the outer disk, higher than our estimated blackbody temperature of 51 K, consistent with the presence of small dust grains.…”

“…For two stars, IRS spectra from Spitzer were available (green line). For HIP 10670 Herschel data (the three longest wavelength points in blue) were available from the DEBRIS survey (Booth et al 2013). (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.…”
