Scientific paper

The authors present interferometric observations of 13CO emission from HL Tau and R Mon. The data permit quantitative determinations of the column density, mass, and dimensions of the circumstellar gas around each object. Simultaneous measurements of the 2.7 mm continuum emission allow an investigation of the circumstellar dust at high spatial resolution, furnishing a secondary probe of the circumstellar mass. Kinematic analysis of the weak, extended, molecular emission detected around both objects is consistent with the hypothesis that the gas orbits the stars in bound disks.
