SUMMARY:Exploring Protoplanetary Disks with CanariCam: Early-Science Highli

DESCRIPTION:Exploring Protoplanetary Disks with CanariCam: Early-Science Hi
 ghlights \nProf. Charles Telesco\n\nCanariCam is the GTC multi-mode mid-IR
  camera developed by the University of Florida. CanariCam commissioning be
 gan in earnest in mid-2012, and is still in progress. However, during
  that time it was also possible to begin science observations. After comme
 nting on the current status of CanariCam, I will present some highlig
 hts of these early science observations, with an emphasis on those of prot
 oplanetary disks. These data are still being analyzed and interpreted, so 
 my comments will be preliminary. However, they demonstrate that CanariCam 
 is an outstanding instrument that can provide valuable insight into a vari
 ety of astrophysical processes. CanariCam's polarimetric mode is particula
 rly unique, and I will show intriguing science results that may indicate t
 he magnetic-field distribution in a YSO outflow and in massive disks and t
 heir environments. I am presenting these results on behalf of the CanariCa
 m Science Team, many of whom have contributed significantly to the early p
 rogress with CanariCam.
