2 An early observation of a debris disk "The light at its brightest was considerably fainter than the brighter portions of the milky way... The outline generally appeared of a parabolic or probably elliptical form, and it would seem excentric as regards the sun, and also inclined, though but slightly to the ecliptic." -- Captain Jacob 1859 Introduction: Vega Phenomenon

3 Leinert & Gruen 1990 Thermal IR excess from Zodiacal dust cloud Introduction: Vega Phenomenon ~150 K

4 The Vega Phenomenon The discovery of excess emission from main sequence stars at IRAS wavelengths (Aumann et al. 1984). Introduction: Vega Phenomenon Backman & Paresce 1993 "The Big Three"

Planet a = 86 AU, e = 0.07, M > 1 Earth if the inner ring boundary is the location of a 2:3 MMR (Neptune :CKB)

23 HST/ACS Search for Planets "ACS detection of sub-stellar companions around Vega, Fomalhaut and Beta Pic via parallax & proper motion" Cycle 12 GO Program: Kalas, Graham & Clampin Co-moving companions are detectable within a few months using the ACS/HRC (25 mas/pixel, FWHM = 60 mas). The existence of planets is inferred from disk structure observed in the sub-mm With age ~200 Myr and distance ~7.7 pc, thermal flux from cooling Jupiters and brown dwarfs may be detected in the HRC F814W broadband filter (I- band). F814W = 26 mag for 1 Jupiter mass. F814W = 22 mag for 10 Jupiter mass Fomalhaut Field Source May 17 - Sep. 27, 2004 I = 23.5 mag

24 Fomalhaut Optical Discovery

25 HST ACS planet search Hubble Space Telescope JCMT SCUBA 450 micron map (Wyatt & Dent 2002) HST Fomalhaut detection -- consistent with sub-mm maps

26 HST ACS planet search Fomalhaut F814W: 80 min., 17 May, 02 Aug, 27 Oct, 2004 F606W: 45 min., 27 Oct. 2004 25 mas / pix, FWHM = 60 mas = 0.5 AU Kalas, Graham & Clampin 2005, Nature, Vol. 435, pp. 1067 Semi-major axis: a =140.7± 1.8 AU Semi-minor axis: b = 57.5 ± 0.7 AU PA major axis: 156.0˚±0.3˚ Inclination: i = 65.9˚± 0.4˚ Projected Offset: 13.4 ± 1 AU PA of offset: 156.0˚ ± 0.3˚ Deprojected Offset f = 15.3 AU Eccentricity: e = f / a = 0.11 orbital period at 140 AU = 1200 yr No inner clumps

27 HST ACS planet search Model Disk Fitting inner & outer radius inclination to line of sight scattering phase function Grain number density function of radius and height

28 HST ACS planet search Asymmetric Scattering Phase Function |g| = 0.2 Zodiacal Light = +0.2; Forward Scattering Median size ~30 microns (blowout size for Fomalhaut is 7 microns). Model subtraction emphasizes inner dust component. 1-2 mag fainter than Q3. SE is 1.7 times brighter than NW. Inner dust component also detected in thermal infrared by Holland et al. 2003 and Stapelfeldt et al. 2004.

29 HST ACS planet search Belt width as a function of azimuth caveat the missing information: 1) Fomalhaut's belt is narrowest near apastron 2) No clear evidence for azimuthal structure Circular annulus with inner radius 133 AU, outer annulus 158 AU

30 HST ACS planet search Radial cut along 10˚ segment Q2 (apastron), in the illumination corrected image; cut traces the material surface density of the structure rather than its brightness. Cuts were actually made in 2˚ increments such that we show the mean value and the error bars are the standard deviation per measurement. Thus the error bars indicate the degree of azimuthal noise, whereas the overall modulation of points radially indicates the radial noise. Blue line is the model fit: 1)Knife-edge inner edge = 133 AU 2)n(r) = n(r o ) r -9 3)Scale height = 3.5 AU at 133 AU Evidence for a planetary system: Knife-edge inner boundary

31 Evidence for planets: sharp inner edges Kuiper Belt dust models by Moro-Martin & Malhotra 2002 1)Dust produced by KBOs a=35-50 AU, i = 0˚-17˚ 2)1-40  m,  = 2.7 g cm -3 & 3-120  m,  =1 g cm -3 3)7 planet, or no planets 4)Solar gravity, RP, P-R drag, solar wind drag.  = RP / gravity  L * /  s radial cuts no planets planets

32 HST ACS planet search Wyatt et al. 1999 How Observations of circumstellar disk asymmetries can reveal hidden planets:Pericenter glow and its application to the HR 4796A disk Wyatt, M.C. et al. 1999, ApJ, 527, 918 Particle eccentricity composed of a proper (or free) eccentricity, inherent to the particle, and a forced eccentricity due to a perturber. The pericenter also has a free and a forced component. The orbital distribution of particles with common forced elements will be a torus with center, C, offset from the stellar position, S. The forcing is due to an eccentric companion that could be either inside or outside the belt. Infer offset 2 AU for HR 4796A Similarly offset = 0.01 AU for Zodiacal dust disk (e.g. Kelsall et al. 1998). External eccentric perturber can produce the same center of symmetry offset, but not the sharp inner disk boundary. S = stellar position D = center of particle orbit C = center of precession circle P = pericenter of a particle orbit DP = a, semi-major axis of a particle orbit w f = direction of forced pericenter SD = a e SC = a e forced CD = a e proper Torus inner radius = a (1 - e proper ) = 133 AU Torus outer radius = a (1+ e proper ) G. Schneider, STIS Evidence for a planetary system: Center of symmetry offset

33 HST ACS planet search Fomalhaut Simulation Adam Deller & Sarah Maddison (Swinburne University of Technology) Planet Mass = 2 M_jupiter eccentricity = 0.3 semi-major axis = 70 AU

34 Architectures Planetary System Architectures: Solar System vs. Fomalhaut Kuiper Belt: 30 - 50 AU Sedna: Perihelion = 76 AU, Aphelion = 990 AU

35 Fomalhaut & the Kuiper Belt: A fairy tale 1.Truncation of disk by OB stellar radiation or dynamical perturbations in early star forming environment (make the outer edge first). 2.Disk heating and mass loss lead to an unstable system. 3.Unstable systems lead to giant planet migration with larger eccentricities than found in dynamically cold (e=0.001) and massive disks. 4.Outward planet migration stops when disk material runs out, but will continue in more massive disks (makes the large inner edge). Larwood & Kalas 2001 Tsiganis et al. 2005

37 Disks placed at the same distance: Introduction: Vega Phenomenon

38 HST ACS planet search Fomalhaut's Belt: Significance to Astronomy 1.Fomalhaut's belt is the closest that has been resolved in scattered light. 2.Inclination 66˚ means that it can be studied around its entire circumference 3.B elt characteristics that are consistent with planet-mass objects orbiting Fomalhaut: 1) The belt center is offset from the stellar center by 15 AU ± 1 AU, demanding apsidal alignment by a planet, 2) Disk edges are sharper on the inner boundary compared to the outer boundary and consistent with our scattered light model that simulates a knife-edge inner boundary and dynamical models of planet-disk interactions. 4.Age 200-300 Myr, this is one of the oldest debris disk seen in scattered light. It is probably leaving the clean-up phase and progressing to a configuration similar to that of our solar system. 5.Replace Beta Pictoris as the debris disk Rosetta Stone? 6.Astrophysical Mirror to our Kuiper Belt?

39 Summary Questions: 1.Outer extent of the disk? 2.Color? Main belt vs. inner dust? 3.Width as a function of azimuth? 4.Azimuthal asymmetries? 5.Plausible companion properties? 6.Planet at large radii? 7.Exterior companion? 8.Co-moving blobs?

40 HST ACS planet search Future HST/ACS Observations: Multi-color imaging of the entire belt in Cycle 14 (July - August 2006) Search for azimuthal asymmetries; e.g. Trojans Measure ring width as a function of azimuth Search for color gradients azimuthally and radially Characterize properties of Zodiacal dust analog; dust interior to the belt. Understand grain properties, source regions More Future Work: Are there planets? Detect the planet(s) directly. Keck II AO run in July, October. Are there external perturbers confining the outer belt boundary? Wide field multi- epoch search. What is the origin of the belt? Planet formation theory; migration; resonance vs. ejection. What are the orbital elements of a planet? Is Fomalhaut's belt a mirror of our young Kuiper Belt? What accounts for the factor of three difference in semi-major axis scale?
