Scientific paper

Transition disks are among the most important criteria for the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks ( SEEDs) YSO/Taurus category because their properties indicate significant disk evolution from a continuous optically thick disk and are related to planet formation. They show no or weak infrared excess shortward of 10 micron and a significant excess at longer wavelengths in their spectral energy distribution (SED). Their SEDs indicate that the stellar disks have an optically thin inner region-a hole or gap-that is surrounded by an optically thick outer disk. The hole or gap is a result from ``disk clearing'' by giant planets or grain growth or photoevaporation.
