A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris-disc stars-III. First statistics based on 42 stars observed with CHARA/FLUOR
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 …
