The radial and vertical structure of debris disks

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Roger Dufresne .

Debris disks are belts of planetesimals and the dust and gas produced by collisions between then. They are interesting targets for astronomers to study partly because their structures reveal a diverse range of interactions with difficult-to-detect planets. This talk starts with a brief overview of major physical processes governing debris disk evolution, including a few ways in which interactions with planets could imprint structures in the disk. It will then move on to discuss computational methods recently being developed to recover these structures from noisy, PSF -convolved observations in an unbiased way and provide several examples of how studying debris disk structure could tell us about planetary system evolution.
