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

Toward a population synthesis of disks and planets I. Evolution of dust with entrainment in winds and radiation pressure
Remo Burn,Alexandre Emsenhuber,Jesse Weder,Oliver Volkel,Hubert Klahr,Tilman Birnstiel,Barbara Ercolano,Christoph Mordasini +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , a two-population dust and pebble description for the Bern/Heidelberg planet formation and evolution model is presented, and the importance of dust entrainment in winds as a solid mass removal process is highlighted.

A Primer on Unifying Debris Disk Morphologies
Eve J. Lee,Eugene Chiang +1 more
TL;DR: A "minimum model" for debris disks consists of a narrow ring of parent bodies, secularly forced by a single planet on a possibly eccentric orbit, colliding to produce dust grains that are perturbed by stellar radiation pressure.

The Debris Disk Fraction for M-dwarfs in Nearby, Young, Moving Groups
TL;DR: In this paper, 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.

Characterizing thermal sweeping: a rapid disc dispersal mechanism
TL;DR: In this article, the surface density at which thermal sweeping will take over the disc's evolution is evaluated as a function of X-ray luminosity, stellar mass and inner hole radius.

TL;DR: The 55-hour Early Release Science Program (ERSPSPP) as discussed by the authors uses all four JWST instruments to extend the characterisation of planetary mass companions to ∼15-20 μm as well as image a circumstellar disk in the mid-infrared with unprecedented sensitivity.
