Six stars were detected, while sensitive upper limits were obtained for a further 11 sources. Most of the sample selected from a recent catalogue of Vega-like stars have infrared excesses similar to those of the prototype Vega-like stars α Lyr and α PsA. Their IR–submm spectral indices are steep, indicating that the submm emission from the discs is dominated by grains which are smaller than the wavelength of observation and that only small grains exist in those dusty discs. HD 98800 has an IR–submillimetre spectral index of less than two, which suggests that grains have grown to more than 0.3 mm in size. Hipparcos parallax data for HD 42137 and HD 123160 suggest that these two stars are giants rather than dwarfs, similar to the situation previously found for HD 233517. Dust masses, or upper limits, were derived for the sample; these indicate that most of the sources do not have as much dust as Herbig Ae/Be or T Tauri stars, but are likely to have dust masses comparable to those of the prototype Vega-like stars. date: 2001-10 date_type: published publisher: WILEY-BLACKWELL official_url: https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04672.x oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 21233 doi: 10.1046/j.1365-8711.2001.04672.x lyricists_name: Barlow, Michael lyricists_id: MJBAR75 actors_name: Barlow, Michael actors_id: MJBAR75 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society volume: 327 number: 1 pagerange: 133-140 pages: 8 issn: 0035-8711 citation: Sylvester, RJ; Dunkin, SK; Barlow, MJ; (2001) SCUBA photometry of candidate Vega-like sources.
