Abstract
The circumstellar environment within 10 AU of young stars are of particular interest for star and planet formation. Unfortunately, present imaging facilities such as the Hubble Space Telescope or adaptive optics on 10-m telescopes cannot resolve this region. We have proved that “spectro-astrometry” is a powerful technique for discovering pre-main-sequence binaries, determining kinematics of outflows and providing evidence for gaps in circumstellar disks — all down to AU scales. In this paper, we summarise our progress to date.
