SUMMARY:Exo-zodi - the evolution of dust in the habitable zones of Sun-lik
 e stars - Grant Kennedy (IoA\, Cambridge)

DESCRIPTION:As a region where liquid water may exist on the surface of roc
 ky planets\, and a place where we know life can exist\, the habitable zone
 s of other Sun-like stars are naturally a place of interest. One way to st
 udy the environment in which Earth analogues reside is via the dust libera
 ted from asteroids\, comets\, and planets - the so-called "exo-Zodi". This
  dust reveals processes that may be similar to those that have occurred th
 roughout the Solar System's history\, but is also a potential source of no
 ise for the future imaging and characterisation of Earth analogues. I\nwil
 l outline some of the Solar System's history near the Earth\, discuss obse
 rvations of warm dust around other stars and possible scenarios and implic
 ations\, and end with a brief look to upcoming observations with the Large
  Binocular Telescope Interferometer.\n
