Abstract: | The Space Infrared Telescope Facility, to be launched into a near-Earth heliocentric orbit in the year 2001, will open broad new vistas for the study, at infrared wavelengths, of the objects in the Solar System and planetary systems around other stars. This paper focuses on the study of Kuiper-belt comets and circumstellar planetary debris disks.Paper presented at the Conference onPlanetary Systems: Formation, Evolution, and Detection held 7–10 December, 1992 at CalTech, Pasadena, California, U.S.A. |
