> SPEAKER: Stanimir Metchev (UCLA)

> "Direct Imaging of Debris Disks and Exoplanetary Systems"
>
> This talk will summarize how direct imaging of optically thin
> circumstellar debris disks allows us to probe the physical properties
> of the circumstellar dust and the architectures of the planetary
> systems imbedded therein.  I will also cover current results from
> efforts to study the extrasolar planets themselves using high-contrast

> imaging techniques, and the relevance of our present knowledge of
> low-mass brown dwarfs to the expected properties of extrasolar giant
> planets.
