- Author contribution statement
- MW contributed significantly to the work. The first author (Matra) was their PhD student. The discovery used the spectro-spatial filtering technique jointly developed by both (Matra et al. 2015, MNRAS, 447, 3936) and applied it to archival data to obtain the then best upper limit on gas present to any star. This prompted the team to apply for the deeper data presented. MW contributed to all aspects, including the data analysis and its interpretation (e.g., the implications for origin of the gas and the planetesimal composition), and to writing of the paper, both in terms of structure and detail.
