Growth of Planetesimals and the Formation of Debris Disks
, 2012 At the edge of the Solar System lies the Kuiper Belt, a ring of leftover planetesimals from the era of planet formation. Collisions between the Kuiper Belt Objects produce dust grains, which absorb and re-radiate stellar radiation.

Polarization of Circumstellar Debris Disk Light Echoes
The Astronomical JournalLight echoes of debris disks around active stars can reveal disk structure and composition even when disks are not spatially resolved. Unfortunately, distinguishing reflected light from quiescent starlight and unexpected post-peak flare structure is ...

Patterns In Debris Disks: No Planets Required?
, 2012 Debris disks like those around Fomalhaut and Beta Pictoris show striking dust patterns often attributed to hidden exoplanets. These patterns have been crucial for constraining the masses and orbits of these planets.

Debris Disks as Tracers of Nearby Planetary Systems
, 2012 Many main-sequence stars possess tenuous circumstellar dust clouds believed to trace extrasolar analogs of the Sun's asteroid and Kuiper Belts. While most of these "debris disks" are known only from far-infrared photometry, dozens are now spatially ...
