Abstract

Context . Debris discs are analogues to our own Kuiper belt around main-sequence stars and are therefore referred to as exoKuiper belts. They have been resolved at high angular resolution at wavelengths spanning the optical/near-infrared to the submillimetre-millimetre regime. Short wavelengths can probe the light scattered by such discs, which is dominated by micron-sized dust particles, while millimetre wavelengths can probe the thermal emission of millimetre-sized particles. Determining differences in the dust distribution between millimetre- and micron-sized dust is fundamental to revealing the dynamical processes affecting the dust in debris discs. Aims . We aim to compare the scattered light from the…
