Popis: | The inner regions of the circumstellar disk around β Pictoris might be dust-free due to a possible planet which may have cleared up dust particles. We present a new observational technique based on the use of an anti-blooming CCD in order to directly image this zone. The structure of the disk is revealed down to 2 arcsec from the star (30 AU). We show that the β Pic disk brightness is neutral in V, R, and I c , but drops down when going inward in B, possibly related to a change in the dust composition. Also, a slight disk asymmetry is present but inverted from the outer to the inner zones. |
