Evolution of Debris Disks
TLDR
In this article, a review describes the theoretical framework within which debris disk evolution takes place and shows how that framework has been constrained by observations, including infrared photometry of large numbers of debris disks, providing snapshots of the dust present at different evolutionary phases.Abstract:
Circumstellar dust exists around several hundred main sequence stars. For the youngest stars, that dust could be a remnant of the protoplanetary disk. Mostly it is inferred to be continuously replenished through collisions between planetesimals in belts analogous to the Solar System’s asteroid and Kuiper belts, or in collisions between growing protoplanets. The evolution of a star’s debris disk is indicative of the evolution of its planetesimal belts and may be influenced by planet formation processes, which can continue throughout the first gigayear as the planetary system settles to a stable configuration and planets form at large radii. Evidence for that evolution comes from infrared photometry of large numbers of debris disks, providing snapshots of the dust present at different evolutionary phases, as well as from images of debris disk structure. This review describes the theoretical framework within which debris disk evolution takes place and shows how that framework has been constrained by observations.read more

The Correlation Between Metallicity and Debris Disk mass
TL;DR: In this article, the initial dust masses in planetary debris disks are correlated with the metallicities of their central stars, and a large sample of systems including Spitzer, the Herschel DUNES and DEBRIS surveys, and WISE debris disk candidates are compiled.

Consequences of dynamically unstable moons in extrasolar systems
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors review the parameter space over which moons become unbound, including the effects of atmospheric tides on the planetary spin, and demonstrate that the overwhelmingly most likely long-term outcome is that the unbound moon returns to collide with its original parent planet.

The Debris Disk Fraction for M-dwarfs in Nearby Young Moving Groups
TL;DR: In this article, the fraction of debris disks for M-dwarfs in nearby moving groups (MGs) was measured using the AllWISE$ IR catalog, and 17 out of 151 MG members were found with an IR photometric excess indicative of disk structure.
