Description:
While most attention has been garnered by searches for super-Jovian mass exo-planets the presence of minor bodies can be detected, at least through their dissociation products in suitably oriented systems. The principal detection technique is line-of-sight absorption spectroscopy of systems viewed close to edge-on. I review what we have learned about such bodies in beta Pictoris, and HD 172555, their link to more massive bodies in their systems, and what this tells us about the frequency and potential locations of Jovian-mass bodies in advance of their direct imaging detection.
