The<i>β</i> Pictoris disk imaged by<i>Herschel</i>PACS and SPIRE
We obtained <i>Herschel<i/> PACS and SPIRE images of the thermal emission of the debris disk around the A5V star <i>β<i/> Pic. The disk is well resolved in the PACS filters at 70, 100, and 160 <i>μ<i/>m. The surface brightness profiles between 70 and 160 <i>μ<i/>m show no significant asymmetries along …
