Revealing the sub-AU asymmetries of the inner dust rim in the disk around the Herbig Ae star R CrA

S. Kraus, K. -H. Hofmann, F. Malbet +5

Models predict that in the innermost AU of the disk around Herbig Ae/Be star, the dust disk forms a "puffed-up" inner rim, which should result in a strongly asymmetric brightness d…
