We present new high fidelity optical coronagraphic imagery of the inner $sim$50 au of AU Mics edge-on debris disk using the BAR5 occulter of the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST/STIS) obtained on 26-27 July 2018. This new imagery reveals that feature A, residing at a projected stellocentric separation of 14.2 au on SE-side of the disk, exhibits an apparent loop-like morphology at the time of our observations. The loop has a projected width of 1.5 au and rises 2.3 au above the disk midplane. We also explored TESS photometric observations of AU Mic that are consistent with evidence of two starspot complexes in the system. The likely co-alignment of the stellar and disk rotational axes breaks degeneracies in detailed spot modeling, indicating that AU Mics projected magnetic field axis is offset from its rotational axis. We speculate that small grains in AU Mics disk could be sculpted by a time-dependent wind that is influenced by this offset magnetic field axis, analogous to co-rotating Solar interaction regions that sculpt and influence the inner and outer regions of our own Heliosphere. Alternatively, if the observed spot modulation is indicative of a significant mis-alignment of the stellar and disk rotational axes, we suggest the disk could still be sculpted by the differential equatorial versus polar wind that it sees with every stellar rotation.
We present imaging observations at 1.3 millimeters of the debris disk surrounding the nearby M-type flare star AU Mic with beam size 3 arcsec (30 AU) from the Submillimeter Array. These data reveal a belt of thermal dust emission surrounding the star
We present far-infrared and submillimeter maps from the Herschel Space Observatory and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope of the debris disk host star AU Microscopii. Disk emission is detected at 70, 160, 250, 350, 450, 500 and 850 micron. The disk is
Analyzing Spitzer and Herschel archival measurements we identified a debris disk around the young K7/M0 star CP-72 2713. The system belongs to the 24Myr old $beta$ Pic moving group. Our new 1.33mm continuum observation, obtained with the ALMA 7-m arr
We present Subaru/HiCIAO H-band high-contrast images of the debris disk around HIP 79977, whose pres- ence was recently inferred from an infrared excess. Our images resolve the disk for the first time, allowing characterization of its shape, size, an
We have obtained Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) J-, H-, K1-, and K2-Spec observations of the iconic debris ring around the young, main-sequence star HR 4796A. We applied several point-spread function (PSF) subtraction techniques to the observations (Mask
