Aims. We aim at using the long baselines of the VLT Interferometer and the mid-IR combiner MIDI (8-13 μm) to derive the morphology of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the Herbig Ae star AB Aurigae Methods: We present the first N-band analysis of AB Aur performed with a maximum angular resolution of 17 mas (2.5 AU at the Taurus-Auriga...

Our objective is to develop of the mid-infrared imaging for the VLTI. Several areas of astrophysics will benefit of this new capability. APreS-MIDI comprises a beam combiner which interfaces with the current MIDI instrument. It thus constitutes an extension to the two-beam interferometric instrument MIDI by increasing the number of recombined...
