There is now a substantial body of evidence that disk-like structures of gas and dust surround many protostars and young stellar objects (e.g. Rodriguez, these proceedings). We are currently studying a number of these disks to establish whether they have properties compatible with those attributed to the proto-solar nebula, in the early stages of evolution of our solar system. The frequency with which such proto-planetary disks are associated with young stars is also being investigated.
