Immediate Goal (Cycle 0) Increase the number of bona-fide circumstellar (Keplerian?) disks around B-type (proto)stars Demonstrate that B-type stars form through disk accretion Assess disk structure and rotation curve M star Long-term Goal (Cycle 2…) Search for circumstellar rotating disks around O-type (proto)stars
