A disrupted planet is a type of planet or an exoplanet, in a smaller scale, a planetesimal, moon, exomoon or asteroid that has been disrupted, damaged or destroyed by an astronomical object such as an asteroid or a star. Necroplanetology is the current astronomical study field of process and formation.
Characteristics[]
The result of a disruption will be excessive productions of related gas, dust and debris which afterwards surronds the parent star in a circumstellar disk or debris disk shape. As a consequence, the orbiting debris, dust and gas makes an "uneven ring of dust", causing unusual flickering of light curves. Such stars include high amounts of infrared radiation and heat, evidence that proves the above theory.
