Abstract
- We discuss a new class of exoplanets that appear to be emitting a tail of dusty effluents. These disintegrating planets are found close to their host stars and have very hot, and likely molten, surfaces. The properties of the dust should provide a direct probe of the constituent material of these rocky bodies.<br />Comment: Invited review. 13 pages, 8 figures, 2 table. Comments welcome
