This award will support an observational program to analyze high-contrast, high spatial resolution images of young stars with circumstellar disks. The principal goals will be to find planets directly or to look for morphological structures in the disks caused by the presence of planets. Much of the work will be to analyze the results of an extensive coronographic survey, but there will also be new observations.The results of the analysis will explore the processes involved in the birth, early evolution, and architecture of exoplanets located in the outer regions of both protoplanetary and debris disks. Members of this research team also are engaged in a program which involves beginning students in research, especially students from underrepresented groups, at the University of Washington.

该奖项将支持一项观测计划，以分析具有星周盘的年轻恒星的高对比度、高空间分辨率图像。 主要目标是直接寻找行星或寻找行星存在引起的圆盘形态结构。 大部分工作将是分析广泛的日冕调查的结果，但也会有新的观测结果。分析的结果将探索位于原行星盘和碎片盘外部区域的系外行星的诞生、早期演化和结构所涉及的过程。 该研究团队的成员还参与了华盛顿大学的一项项目，该项目涉及刚开始从事研究的学生，特别是来自代表性不足群体的学生。
