A planet on an inclined orbit as an explanation of the warp in the β Pictoris disc
Open accessAbstract
We consider the deformation that has recently been observed in the inner part of the circumstellar disc around β Pictoris with the HST. Our recent ground-based, adaptive optics coronographic observations confirm that the inner disc is warped. We investigate the hypothesis that a yet undetected planet is responsible for the observed warp, through simulations of the effect of the gravitational perturbation resulting from a massive companion on the disc. The physical processes assumed in the simulations are discussed: since the observed particles do not survive collisions, the apparent disc shape is driven by the underlying collisionless parent population. The resulting possible parameters for the planet that are consistent with the observed disc deformation are reviewed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
