Planet-disk interaction in solar system analogs: looking for planets and substructures in debris disk systems.

Debris disks represent the final phase in protoplanetary disk evolution. As byproducts of planet formation, these disks typically contain planetesimal belts, dust, and gas. Similar to our own solar system's debris disk, planetary systems often create inner dust clearing through gravitational interactions.

Understanding the relationship between planets and debris disks is fundamental for two complementary reasons: first, to accurately identify and characterize planets within these systems, and second, to detect and interpret signatures of planet-disk interactions. Systems featuring resolved spiral substructures alongside low-mass companions provide ideal laboratories for studying these interactions across different evolutionary timescales.

In this talk, I will present an observational overview of planetary candidates detected in debris disks and analyze how they influence disk structure. Valuable case studies are represented by young debris disks in the TW Hydrae and Beta Pictoris associations, such as TWA 7 and AU Microscopii. Finally, I will examine how future instrumentation on the Extremely Large Telescope, including MORFEO/MICADO and PCS, will enhance our ability to characterize solar system analogs and trace their evolutionary pathways.
