Here we point out the existence of a distant companion star to V488 Per, a K-type member of the $\\alpha$ Persei cluster with the largest known fractional excess infrared luminosity ($\\sim$16\\%) of any main sequence star. We also report the presence of a distant companion to the previously recognized warm dust star 2M1337. With these discoveries the existence of a cause and effect relationship between a distant companion and large quantities of warm dust in orbit around youthful stars now seems compelling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-09T04:53:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "warm dusty debris disks", "distant companion star", "warm dust star 2m1337", "large quantities" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0004-637X/798/2/86", "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2015, "month": "Jan", "volume": 798, "number": 2, "pages": 86 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015ApJ...798...86Z" } } }
