Detection of Exocometary CO within the 440Myr Old Fomalhaut Belt: A Similar CO+ CO2 Ice Abundance in Exocomets and Solar System Comets

Detection of Exocometary CO within the 440Myr Old Fomalhaut Belt: A Similar CO+ CO2 Ice Abundance in Exocomets and Solar System Comets

Show other versions (1)

Recent Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations present mounting evidence for the presence of exocometary gas released within Kuiper Belt analogs around nearby main-sequence stars. This represents a unique opportunity to study their ice reservoir at the younger ages when volatile de...
