Kappa Coronae Borealis

Kappa Coronae Borealis, based on Herschel PACS observations at 100 m. North is up and east is left. The star is in the centre of the frame (not visible in this graphic) with an excess of infrared emission detected around it, interpreted as a dusty debris disk containing asteroids and/or comets. The inclination of the planetary system is constrained at an angle of 60 from face-on.
