[1] A debris disk has been detected in this system at submillimeter wavelengths and has been resolved in the far-infrared from data obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory.

[2] The planet was initially detected in data taken in 2012 at a separation from the parent star of 623.9 ± 7.4 mas (~56 AU) and position angle of 151.8 ± 0.8 degrees.

In particular, the lower limit of its 1.65–3.8 μm color of 3.1 magnitudes excludes background stars and most brown dwarfs.

HD 95086 b is probably responsible for carving the sharp inner edge of the outer disk, but additional planets in this system occupying the rest of the gap may be a strong possibility.

This scattering mechanism has been investigated for particles of the form of over-dense fluid elements like those found in a protoplanetary disk containing a planet.
