In 2006, a dust disk was found around 2M1207, providing evidence for active planet formation.
The existence of a dust disk has also been confirmed by infrared observations.
In 1998 the discovery of a possible dust disk around 55 Cancri A was announced.
The inclination matches the already known value for the dust disk around the star.
The spectral signature of olivine has been seen in the dust disks around young stars.
Thus, giant planets can form within a stellar dust disk in only a few million years.
This dust disk is highly unusual for a lenticular galaxy.
Some conformastatic solutions have been adopted to describe charged dust disks.
Planets have been photographed in dust disks around their stars as well, but those planet systems were much more mature.
The astronomers all agree that they need to take more observations to figure out exactly what is happening in these hole-riddled dust disks.
