Poster Session
- Young debris disks (< few x 10's M yrs): do they
contain gas?
- Evidence for gas is strong
Geoff Blake
- Caution: evidence for gas is mixed
Mike Jura
- Old debris disks (few x 100's M yrs): what does
dust optical depth tell us?
- Dust optical depth shows steady decline: consistent with collisional evolution of parent bodies
Murray
Silverstone
- Dust optical depth shows ‘pulse’ delineating end of
heavy bombardment phase.
