  • Abstract
    Long-baseline optical and IR interferometers now routinely resolve the wind and disklike structures around early-type stars. The typical angular scales resolved by current generation of instruments are well bellow the milli-arcsecond level. These type of observations allow, in some cases for the first time, placing very tight constraints on current theories and models of the circumstellar structures around these type of stars. Specific examples of observations obtained at the Navy Prototype Optical interferometer of the spatially resolved regions around a luminous blue variable star P Cyg and a B-type star with circumstellar disk are presented. The need for connection between interferometric observables and physical parameters predicted by theory and numerical models are emphasized.
