    Shocks and a Giant Planet in the Disk Orbiting BP Piscium? http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/1008.1775

    "Spitzer IRS spectroscopy supports the interpretation that BP Piscium, a gas and dust enshrouded star residing at high Galactic latitude, is a first-ascent giant rather than a classical T Tauri star. Our analysis suggests that BP Piscium’s spectral energy distribution can be modeled as a disk with a gap that is opened by a giant planet."
