The furthest planet in the system orbits just inside a disk of dusty debris. HR8799's dust disk stands out as one of the most massive in orbit around any star in UCP space within 300 light years of Sol.

The star is young – less than 100 million years old – which means its planets are still glowing with heat from their formation. All three planets also possess complex atmospheres with dusty clouds partially trapping and re-radiating the escaping heat.
