Planets around A-type stars
For an unknown reason I found this footnote from Menu et al. 2015 (A&A, 581A, 107) very interesting:
It is interesting to note that several of the few directly imaged planetary companions are found around A-type stars, which are descendants of Herbig Ae/Be stars. Examples of A-type exoplanet host stars are HR 8799 (e.g., Marois et al. 2008), HD 95086 (e.g., Rameau et al. 2013), κ And (e.g., Carson et al. 2013), β Pic (e.g., Lagrange et al. 2010), and HD 100546 (e.g., Quanz et al. 2013).
