Resumo
The exact geometry of the interface region between the accretion disk and the stellar surface in young stars has crucial implications for both the origin of mass-loss and the regulation of stellar angular momentum. We discuss proposed AMBER/VLTI observations of the Paβ line emitting region that will put the first direct constraints on the magnetospheric accretion flow scenario in active young stellar systems.
