Use of the highly sensitive Hokupa'a/Gemini curvature wavefront sensor has allowed for the first time direct adaptive optics (AO) guiding on M8-M9 very low mass (VLM) stars. An initial survey of 20...
The Evolution of Circumstellar Disks: Lessons from the VLT and ISO (2001)
Brandner, Wolfgang, Potter, Dan, Sheppard, Scott S., Moneti, Andrea, Zinnecker, Hans
There is strong evidence that the planets in the solar system evolved from a disk-shaped solar nebula ~4.56 Gyr ago. By studying young stars in various evolutionary stages, one aims at tracing back...
