A flattened, disk - like structure with a semi-major axis of ~ 100 AU in size is detected
around zeta ^ 2 Ret.
The dust cloud
around zeta Leporis, bottom, could give rise to a solar system similar to ours, top.
Not exact matches
When unusually warm dust was first discovered
around a nearby star, called
zeta Leporis, infrared astronomers began hunting in detail for the heat source.
Synthetic images show that the pattern observed
around $ \
zeta ^ 2 $ Ret can be produced by an eccentric disk seen close to edge - on, and allow us to bring additional constraints on the disk parameters of our model (disk flux, extent).
One such disk was recently observed in the far - IR by the Herschel Space Observatory
around $ \
zeta ^ 2 $ Ret.
