Scientific paper

Here we report first results of a survey of young stellar objects (YSO) with the newly-commissioned Keck Interferometer (Keck-I). The Keck-I has an order-of-magnitude greater sensitivity than other near-infrared interferometers allowing characteristic size measurements of a wide variety of YSO systems. The inner accretion disks of Classical T Tauris, Herbig Ae/Be stars, and FU Orionis objects have been observed at astronomical K-band (2.2 microns) and nearly all targets were resolved. In this poster, we present a status report and preliminary analysis of our initial dataset.
This work has been funded by NASA. The interferometer observations were made possible through the efforts of the NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the W. M. Keck Observatory, and the Michelson Science Center (Caltech).
