We describe the discovery of a bright , young Kuiper belt-like debris disk around HD 115600 , a \sim 1.4–1.5 M _ { \mathrm { \odot } } , \sim 15 Myr old member of the Sco-Cen OB Association .
Our H-band coronagraphy/integral field spectroscopy from the Gemini Planet Imager shows the ring has a ( luminosity scaled ) semi major axis of ( \sim 22 AU ) \sim 48 AU , similar to the current Kuiper belt .
The disk appears to have neutral scattering dust , is eccentric ( e \sim 0.1–0.2 ) , and could be sculpted by analogues to the outer solar system planets .
Spectroscopy of the disk ansae reveal a slightly blue to gray disk color , consistent with major Kuiper belt chemical constituents , where water-ice is a very plausible dominant constituent .
Besides being the first object discovered with the next generation of extreme adaptive optics systems ( i.e .
SCExAO , GPI , SPHERE ) , HD 115600 ’ s debris ring and planetary system provides a key reference point for the early evolution of the solar system , the structure and composition of the Kuiper belt , and the interaction between debris disks and planets .
