STRUCTURES IN THE PROTOPLANETARY DISK OF HD142527 SEEN IN POLARIZED SCATTERED LIGHT
We present H- and Ks-band polarized differential images (PDI) of the Herbig Ae/Be star HD142527, revealing its optically thick outer disk and the nearly empty gap. The very small inner working angle (~0.1") and high resolution achievable with an 8m-class telescope, together with a careful polarimetric calibration strategy, allow us …
