Abstract

As the number of detected extrasolar planetary systems has steadily grown over the past five years, so too has the number of circumstellar disks with resolved images. In this contribution, I take stock of the current inventory of disk images at various wavelengths; summarize the results of a new disk imaging survey conducted with the Hubble Space Telescope; review the major inferences that can be drawn about disk structure from the extant images; and suggest areas for future progress.
