  • The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS): VI. Asymmetries and offsets
    Context. Asymmetries in debris discs provide unique clues to understand the evolution and architecture of planetary systems. Previous studies of debris discs at (sub)millimetre wavelengths have suggested the presence of asymmetries in a wide variety of systems, yet the lack of sufficiently sensitive high-resolution observations means that the

  • The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS): V. Comparison between scattered light and thermal emission
    Context. Debris discs are analogues to our own Kuiper belt around main-sequence stars and are therefore referred to as exoKuiper belts. They have been resolved at high angular resolution at wavelengths spanning the optical/near-infrared to the submillimetre-millimetre regime. Short wavelengths can probe the light scattered by such discs, which is

  • The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS): IX. Gas-driven origin for the continuum arc in the debris disc of HD121617
    Context. Debris discs were long considered to be largely gas-free environments, where dynamical evolution is governed primarily by collisional fragmentation, gravitational stirring, and radiative forces. Recent detections of CO molecular line emission in debris discs demonstrate that gas is present, but its abundance and origin are still uncertain

  • The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS): IV. CO gas imaging and overview
    Context. CO gas is detected in a significant number (~20) of debris discs (exoKuiper belts), but understanding its origin and evolution remains elusive. Crucial pieces of evidence are its mass and spectro-spatial distribution, which are coupled through optical depth and have only been analysed at low to moderate resolution so far. The ALMA survey

  • The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS): III. The vertical structure of debris disks
    Context. Debris disks ─ collisionally sustained belts of dust and sometimes gas around main sequence stars ─ are remnants of planet formation processes and are found in systems ≳10 Myr old. Millimeter-wavelength observations are particularly important, as the grains probed by these observations are not strongly affected by radiation pressure and

  • The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS): II. The radial structure of debris discs
    Context. Debris discs are populated by belts of planetesimals, whose structure carries dynamical imprints of planets and the formation and evolutionary history of the planetary system. The relatively faint emission of debris discs has previously made it challenging to obtain a large sample of high-resolution ALMA images to characterise their
