Title: The cradle of the cradles of planets
Abstract:
Planets form in tiny disks around newly-born stars. Hundreds of 
high-resolution images of these disks have been taken over the last 
decade showing a variety of diverse morphologies that are somehow 
connected to the diversity observed in planetary systems. Now, the 
sample of disks observed is mature enough to enable demographic studies 
on several disk properties and their connection with environmental, 
stellar, and other disk properties. The techniques, the instruments, and
 the main results of our study are presented in this talk, with a 
particular view of three star-forming regions where tens of planets are 
being formed.
