In optically thin gas disks around young Vega-type stars, dust grains are exposed to the stellar radiation pressure and gas drag force. The combination of these forces pushes the grains away from the central star. Typically, 10–100 μm grains migrate outward to become concentrated at the outer edge of the gas disk. A dust ring naturally forms without the help of clearing bodies, such as planets or brown dwarfs.
