We have used the ES0 10 ,um camera, TIMMI, to image with a very high angular resolution (PFoV: 0.3"; FWHM:0.9") several main-sequence star disk candidates. Information on the P-Pictoris dust disk has been .obtained in a region largely inaccessible to previous observations: O-80 AU, with a resolution
We have already shown that a planet orbiting  Pictoris is able to confine the circumstellar dust. Here we present new numerical simulations which improve this model. The new model takes into account destructive collisions between particles, and looks at the steady state between the collision and th
