Description
Star formation, and in particular formation, evolution and dissipation of protoplanetary disks is a hot topic in nowadays astronomy because it bridges the classic study of star formation to the new discovery and characterization of extrasolar planets.
In this talk I will review the role of AO in star formation, focusing in particular on how our understanding on formation, evolution and dissipation of protoplanetary disks has gained new insight from these observing methods.
