The debris disk surrounding TWA 7 is notable for being one of the youngest known, at around 6.4 million years old, and is located approximately 34 parsecs away. Being nearly pole-on allows for accurate measurements of its structure, including several rings of varying widths. Advanced imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope and historical data from the Hubble Space Telescope contribute to understanding the disk's makeup and potential for harboring planets, although no planets have been detected yet.
The disk around TWA 7 is one of the youngest debris disks known, allowing for precise estimations of radial distribution and potentially discovering planets.
Utilizing data from both Hubble's NICMOS and Webb's MIRI, researchers are investigating the unique structures and dynamics present in the debris disk surrounding TWA 7.
