Probing Sub-AU Radii of Young Circumstellar Disks
Using data from the Keck and Palomar Testbed Interferometers, we probe sub AU regions of protoplanetary disks around a sample of T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be stars. We determine the dust and gas distributions in these regions, with implications for terrestrial planet formation as well as potential mechanisms for halting giant planet formation.Last modified: Sun Jul 9 17:31:44 2006
