HD 129590 is a stellar system with a directly imaged debris disk located in the Scorpius–Centaurus association, approximately 420 light years away. With an estimated age of 15 Myr, young systems like HD 129590 have been ideal for studying the development and evolution of exocomets and planetary disks at early epochs of star formation, at a time when such structures are just emerging. Consequently,
