The Mass of Stirring Bodies in the AU Mic Debris Disk Inferred from Resolved Vertical Structure

The vertical distribution of dust in debris disks is sensitive to the number and size of large planetesimals dynamically stirring the disk, and is therefore well-suited for constraining the prevalence of otherwise unobservable Uranus and Neptune analogs. Information regarding stirring bodies has pre...
