Has The Dust Clump In The Debris Disk of Beta Pictoris Moved?
The edge-on debris disk of the nearby young star Beta Pictoris shows an unusual brightness asymmetry in the form of a clump.

Dust From collisions: A Way To Probe The Composition Of Exo-planets?
In order to link infrared observations of dust formed during planet formation in debris disks to mid-infrared spectroscopic data of planetary materials from differentiated terrestrial and asteroidal bodies, we obtained […]
