On today's arXiv: the eccentricity of the debris disc of Epsilon Eridani
arxiv.org/abs/2610.00462

The belt is found to be nearly circular, suggesting it consists of dynamically cold planetesimals that haven't been strongly perturbed.

How eccentric is the debris disk of epsilon Eridani? ALMA reveals a near-circular belt
The nearby (3.2 pc) K2V star $ε$ Eridani hosts the closest detected debris disk and an exo-Jupiter analog ($ε$ Eridani b). In this work, we reanalyse ALMA Band 6 (1.29 mm) observations of $ε$ Eridani ...

Water ice in the debris disk around HD 181327
Debris disks are exoplanetary systems that contain planets, minor bodies (i.e., asteroids, Kuiper belt objects, comets, etc.), and micron-sized debris dust. Since water ice is the most common frozen v...

Remember the 'first visible-light exoplanet' Fomalhaut b? Turns out it was likely a short-lived dust cloud, not a world, caught by Hubble as it faded and spread. Were you following this saga? #DebrisDisk #DirectImaging #Exoplanets #FomalhautB #HubbleSpaceTelescope
Is Fomalhaut b a Real Exoplanet? How the ‘First Visible-Light Exoplanet’ Likely Vanished
Fomalhaut b is now considered not to be a real exoplanet. Follow-up Hubble observations showed the object fading and expanding over time, behavior that matches an expanding dust cloud from a recent collision between two icy bodies in the Fomalhaut debris disk rather than a solid, planet-sized body. NASA has summarized the reversal, which updated the 2008 claim of the first visible-light exoplanet image around the nearby star Fomalhaut.
