Low-mass stars with extreme mid-infrared excesses: potential signatures of planetary collisions
I investigate the occurrence of extreme mid-infrared (MIR) excesses, a tracer of large amounts of dust orbiting stars, in low-mass stellar systems. Extreme MIR excesses, defined as an excess IR luminosity greater than 1% of the stellar luminosity (L_IR/L∗ > 0.01), have previously only been observ...
