Elisha Polomski's research is revealing the detailed structure of the circumstellar environments of the Herbig Ae/Be stars. These stars are about 2-10 times the mass of our sun and associated with large infrared excesses. Many researchers have fit models to the infrared excesses of these stars which imply that it originates in dusty circumstellar disks. However, until recently, most mid-IR observations of these stars consisted of large aperture photometry and the details of their environments were not known. Elisha's observations have shown that much of the IR excess originates in sources unrelated to circumstellar disks.
