Accretion Disks around low-mass Stars unveiled by the new Generation of cm to submm Arrays
Abstract
In the context of accretion disks, I briefly discuss the impact of three major forthcoming radio facilities: e-VLA, ALMA and SKA. These arrays are complementary by their frequency range and angular resolution. Around nearby low-mass stars, they will likely provide the first insights in the inner gas and dust disks (radius < 10-30 AU) in the area where planet formation should occur but would also allow the first investigations of the star, jet and disk connections.
