Current star formation theories contain three components: the central source, a disk, and the collapsing envelope. In order to test star formation theories, it is necessary to study what are the observable consequences of each of the different components. To date, most radiative transfer models have focused on a central source and either an envelope or a disk. The author discusses a technique that allows him to combine all three elements (star, disk, and envelope) into a single radiative transfer model. The technique, which he refers to as the "spherical disk" approximation, allows him to assess the possible contributions of disks around embedded young stars to the overall spectral energy distribution. The author presents models where disks have been added to the central source function of L1551-IRS 5, a source he has previously modeled with star and envelope alone. He discusses the implications for both the overall spectral energy distribution and the millimeter interferometer data. In addition, the author discusses what effects an envelope can have on the disk and how this might change conclusions about the overall disk properties. Finally, the author points out the possible effect warm envelopes can have on T Tauri systems.
