Descripción
For circumstellar systems with an orientation perpendicular to the plane
of the sky, and under some simplifying assumptions, the surface
brightness integral equation can be formally inverted. Application of
the resulting equation to the disk of dust surrounding the star β
Pictoris seems to reveal a radial distribution of dust going
approximately like 1/r. The dynamical significance of a spatial density
of this kind is briefly discussed.
