Dynamical Outcomes of Planet-Planet Scattering (2007, background): “…disk on planetary dynamics and vice versa is beyond the scope of this study, the warped disk observed in β Pictoris could be one interesting example where inclined planetary orbits and the debris disk exchange torques, resulting in a warped debris disk (Smith & Terrile 1984; Heap et al. 2000).”
NEW DEBRIS DISKS AROUND YOUNG, LOW-MASS STARS DISCOVERED WITH THE SPITZER SPACE TELESCOPE (2009, unknown): “…ge- ometries are primarily narrow rings (Kalas et al. 2008; Fitzgerald et al. 2007; Krist et al. 2005a,b; Telesco et al. 2005; Marsh et al. 2005; Stapelfeldt et al. 2004; Kalas et al. 2004; Holland et al. 2003; Wahhaj et al. 2003; Heap et al. 2000; Schneider et al. 1999; Jayawardhana et al. 1998).”
Resonant Trapping of Planetesimals by Planet Migration: Debris Disk Clumps and Vega’s Similarity to the Solar System (2003, background): “…trapped in mean motion resonance with a planet in these systems (Ozernoy et al. 2000; Wyatt & Dent 2002; Quillen & Thorndike 2002; Kuchner & Holman 2003); and a warp in the β Pictoris disk (Heap et al. 2000) may be caused by the perturbations of a planet on an inclined orbit (Augereau et al. 2001).”
A probable giant planet imaged in the beta Pictoris disk. VLT/NaCo deep L'-band imaging (2008, methodology): “A-9026(A); and observations made with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the NASA/ESAHubble Space Telescope. frared (Telesco et al. 2005) wavelengths, as well as a warp at ∼ 50 au (Mouillet et al. 1997; Heap et al. 2000).”
PROBING FOR EXOPLANETS HIDING IN DUSTY DEBRIS DISKS: DISK IMAGING, CHARACTERIZATION, AND EXPLORATION WITH HST/STIS MULTI-ROLL CORONAGRAPHY (2014, background): “The prototypical β Pictoris edge-on debris system sports a strong “warp” (Heap et al. 2000), or inclined (out-of-plane) secondary disk (Golimowski et al. 2006; D. Apai et al. 2014, in preparation).”
Spitzer IRS Spectroscopy of IRAS-discovered Debris Disks (2006, background): “However, the black body distances are smaller than the measured radii of β Pic and AU Mic in scattered light (Krist et al. 2005; Heap et al. 2000) and than the measured radius of Vega, inferred from maps of thermal emission of stochasitically heated small grains (Su et al. 2005).”
The properties of brown dwarfs and low-mass hydrogen-burning stars formed by disc fragmentation (2008, background): “Warped discs have been observed (e.g. Heap et al. 2000; Quillen 2006).”
CO emission from discs around isolated HAeBe and Vega-excess stars (2005, unknown): “Such structures are even thinner than the opening angle of 7 ◦ seen in the edge-on β Pictoris dust disc (Heap et al., 2000), and the detections of CO imply it can also exist in such thin layers.”
Imaging Extrasolar Giant Planets (2016, background): “…it one of the best-studied debris disks, showing signs of multiple belts (e.g., Wahhaj et al. 2003), asymmetries (e.g., Kalas & Jewitt 1995), molecular gas clumps (Dent et al. 2014), and an inner warp (Heap et al. 2000) predicted to be caused by a closein inclined planet (Mouillet et al. 1997).”
