Cold Debris Disks as Strategic Targets for the 2020s

Abstract
Cold debris disks (T < 200 K) are analogues to the dust in the Solar System's Kuiper belt. We lay out a critical path for the study of debris disks that focuses on defining an empirical relationship between scattered light and thermal emission, probing the dynamics and properties of disks, and directly determining planet disk interactions.
