“…MATISSE 17 (see, e.g., Lopez et al, 2009;Wolf et al, 2009) is a mid-infrared spectrointerferometer combining the beams of up to four UTs or ATs of the Very Large Telescope 17 Multi Aperture Mid-Infrared SpectroScopic Experiment Interferometer (VLTI). MATISSE will measure closure phase relations and thus offer an efficient capability for image reconstruction.…”

We present a review of the interplay between the evolution of circumstellar disks and the formation of planets, both from the perspective of theoretical models and dedicated observations. Based on this, we identify and discuss fundamental questions concerning the formation and evolution of circumstellar disks and planets which can be addressed in the near future with optical and infrared long-baseline interferometers. Furthermore, the importance of complementary observations with long-baseline (sub)millimeter interferometers and high-sensitivity infrared observatories is outlined.

“…For the second generation VLTI instrumentation, an instrument capable of combining 4 beams is currently under consideration. 59 The Multi AperTure Mid-Infrared SpectroScopic Experiment (Matisse) will be capable of measuring visibility amplitudes on 6 different baselines (quasi-) simultaneously, as well as interferometric (closure) phases. This allows for true image reconstruction, roughly at the level of complexity of VLBI observations in the radio domain (see figure 12).…”

We report on observations of circumstellar disks around young stars that have been obtained with the MIDI instrument, which is mounted on the VLT Interferometer and operates in the 10 µm atmospheric window. The maximum spatial resolution of 5 milli-arcsec corresponds to sub-AU scales at the distance to nearby star formation regions. Thus, we can study the disks on the spatial scales at which important processes occur, such as accretion, dust processing, and planet formation. The main results obtained so far can be summarized as follows: 1. The measured interferometric visibilities are in good qualitative agreement with those predicted by models of circumstellar disks. In particular, a predicted correlation between the strength of the far-infrared excess and the spatial structure of the disk is confirmed by direct measurements; 2. In several objects strong evidence for deviations from circular symmetry is present, indicating that an inclined disk is indeed the dominant component seen in the mid-infrared; 3. The dust properties are not uniform over the disk, but are instead a strong function of distance to the central star. The dust in the innermost disk regions is observed to be more "processed" than the dust further out, both in Herbig Ae star disks and in those around T Tauri stars.
