Discovery image obtained with the Advanced Camera for Suveys aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The interesting aspect of this debris disk is that it also has a radial-velocity detected planet with semi-major axis 2.03 AU, eccentricity 0.16 and Msini=0.93 M_Jupiter. This dust disk has an asymmetry because it is more extended to the NE than to the SW. It is detected as far as 120-140 AU radius, and appears to have an inner boundary at 75 AU radius.
