Debris disks are tenuous, dust-dominated disks commonly observed around stars over a
wide range of ages. Those around main sequence stars are analogous to the Solar System's …

Over the past three decades, we have witnessed one of the great revolutions in our
understanding of the cosmos—the dawn of the Exoplanet Era. Where once we knew of just …

Context. The characterisation of the atmosphere of exoplanets is one of the main goals of
exoplanet science in the coming decades. Aims. We investigate the detectability of …

ExoEarth yield is a critical science metric for future exoplanet imaging missions. Here we
estimate exoEarth candidate yield using single visit completeness for a variety of mission …

Abstract The TMT Detailed Science Case describes the transformational science that the
Thirty Meter Telescope will enable. Planned to begin science operations in 2024, TMT will …

The habitable zone (HZ) around a star is typically defined as the region where a rocky planet
can maintain liquid water on its surface. That definition is appropriate, because this allows …

Context. Dust is expected to be ubiquitous in extrasolar planetary systems owing to the
dynamical activity of minor bodies. Inner dust populations are, however, still poorly known …

It is now understood that the accretion of terrestrial planets naturally involves giant collisions,
the moon-forming impact being a well-known example. In the aftermath of such collisions …

We present a study of debris discs whose spectra are well modelled by dust emission at two
different temperatures. These discs are typically assumed to be a sign of multiple belts …

Abstract The Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems survey searches for dust
near the habitable zones (HZs) around nearby, bright main-sequence stars. We use nulling …
