Abstract: | Debris discs around stars were first discovered by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) in 1983. For the first time
material orbiting another star than the Sun, but distinct from a circumstellar envelope, was observed through its far infrared
emission. This major discovery motivated astronomers to investigate those discs by further analyzing the IRAS data, using
ground-based telescopes for the hunting of exoplanets, developing several projects using the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO),
and now exploiting the ISO Data Archive (IDA). This review presents the main ISO results, statistical as well as individual,
on debris discs in orbit around pre-main-sequence and main-sequence stars.
Based on observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the PI countries:
France, Germany, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom), and with the participation of ISAS and NASA. |
