Infrared and submillimetre observations of nearby Vega-like stars have
revealed a number of clumpy, asymmetric dust debris disks. Previous studies
using semi-analytical and numerical methods have suggested planetary companions
of various mass as the likely cause of most examples of disk asymmetry. In this
paper, we modify an N-body symplectic gravitational integrator to include
radiation terms and conduct medium-resolution parameter searches to identify
likely planetary candidates in observed Vega-like systems. We also present high
resolution models of Vega and epsilon Eridani, comparing our results to those
of previous authors, and a new model for Fomalhaut.
