Evolution of Warm Debris Around Sun-like Stars: Clues to Terrestrial
... stars observed to have strong excess at 24 microns from 10-30 Myr are the “same systems” that exhibit 24 micron excess between 30-100 Myr. In order words, do all stars exhibit 24 micron excess indicative of a collisional planetesimal swarm evolution from inside out, but at different times? If so, th ...
