The Inner Radius of T Tauri Disks Estimated from Near-Infrared Interferometry: The Importance of Scattered Light

The Inner Radius of T Tauri Disks Estimated from Near-Infrared Interferometry: The Importance of Scattered Light

For young Herbig Ae/Be stars, near-infrared interferometric measurements have revealed a correlation between the luminosity of the central object and the position of the disk inner rim. This correlation breaks down for the cooler T Tauri stars, a fact often interpreted in terms of disks with larger inner radii. In …
