Extent of the β Pic planetary system relative to the ~1 arcsec FOV of LIFE at 10 μm (black dashed circle), as seen from Earth. The orbits of the planets (Nowak et al. 2020) are plotted in blue for the outer planet ‘b’ and red for the inner planet ‘c’. The inner green dashed circle marks the region inside of 1.6 au which is of primary interest for exocomet studies, since coma activity may be very limited outside this range. The edge-on disk in the system extends 200 times beyond the LIFE FOV.
