Cím: The SEEDS of Planet Formation: Indirect Signatures of Giant Planets 
in Transitional Disks

Kivonat:
Circumstellar disks associated with PMS stars are the site where 
planetesimals form and grow, and ultimately where planets are produced. A 
key phase in the evolution of such disks is the phase where clearing of 
the disk has begun, potentially enabling direct detection of giant 
planets, but the disk retains sufficient material that indirect signatures 
that these are young planetary systems are also present. After reviewing 
what has been learned from studies of the IR spectral energy distribution 
and (sub)mm-interferometry, I will discuss recent results obtained as part 
of the Strategic Exploration of Exoplanets and Disks with Subaru (SEEDS).
