Abstract
The observations of the β-Pictoris circumstellar disk show a cleared zone inside a radius of nearly 20 A.U. (Smith & Terrile,1984). In order to explain this important feature, the existence of a planet inside the cleared zone has been proposed. It is suggested that the combined effects of resonances and Poynting-Robertson drag would be responsible for confining the dust particles (Roques et al., 1991).
