Abstract

What is the typical size of a disk in a stellar young cluster freshly

formed? In this paper we present our preliminary results on the size

distribution of disks in the Trapezium cluster, measured in a Hα

(0.656μm) image from the HST/WFPC. We also present the spatial

distribution of disk-size as a function of the distance to the most

important Trapezium OB stars.
