Theories on star formation have treated the formation of low mass, intermediate mass and high mass stars distinctly. However it is not at all clear that there is a difference in the formation of these three groups. In fact, as many stars form in clusters, it is very likely that stars of different masses actually form and evolve together. We are conducting a photometric and spectroscopic study of multiples around Herbig Ae/Be (HAEBE) stars, to investigate the nature of the companions. HAEBE stars are PMS stars of intermediate mass, spanning the mass range between low-mass T Tauri stars and high mass stars. Hence, they fill an important parameter space in addressing the question of whether high mass and low-mass stars form the same way. Here we propose to obtain high resolution AO imaging to search for multiples amongst Herbig Ae/Be stars, continuing the work by Bouvier & Corporon (2001).
