Images of HD 181327 (two-panel image)

These two Hubble Space Telescope images of a well-known debris disk around the star system HD 181327 illustrate how new image processing techniques have allowed astronomers to uncover debris disks around several young stars. Astronomers developed the new techniques for images of...

NICMOS Archival Images of Five Debris Disks

These images reveal five planetary debris disks uncovered in images around young stars that astronomers retrieved from the Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer observed the disks in near-infrared...
