Debris Disks

Debris Disk is a circumstellar disk composed predominantly of dust and planetesimals produced by collisions and evaporation of larger bodies, distinguished from protoplanetary disks by its lack of significant gas content and its persistence around mature stars, indicating a later stage in planetary system evolution.
