2. 1. Circumstellar dust emission from nearby Solar-type stars

   Author : Joachim Wiegert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stars: binaries - Stars: circumstellar matter - Infrared: stars - Infrared: planetary systems - Submillimeter: stars;

   Abstract : Far-infrared excess above the photosphere of a star indicates the presence of a circumstellar dust disc which is a sign-post for extrasolar planets, and was first detected in the mid 1980s. Dust discs are intricately connected to planets and planetesimals, give insights in the dynamics and evolution of the system, and are also useful for future exoplanet-observations. READ MORE

4. 2. Extrasolar Kuiper and asteroid belts Modelling far-infrared dust emission

   Author : Joachim Wiegert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stars: binaries - Stars: circumstellar matter - Infrared: stars - Infrared: planetary systems - Submillimeter: stars;

   Abstract : The first detections of circumstellar dust emission were announced in the mid 1980s. Direct observations of the edge-on disc of beta Pictoris provided evidence that the dust was part of possible planetary systems. About a decade later, in 1995, the first confirmed extrasolar planet around a main sequence star (51 Pegasi b) was announced. READ MORE
