Scientific paper

Imaging of debris disks has provided a unique insight into the make-up of these extrasolar systems. Not only is there the dusty component we can see, but also presumably a planetesimal population feeding that dust disk, and there is mounting evidence that many of these systems also host planets. The most compelling evidence for such planets comes from the morphology of the dust seen in the images, which has been shown to be distinctly asymmetrical and non-uniform. In this talk I will review the evidence for planets in debris disks as well as the ways in which the existence of these putative planets can be tested.
