General Description

Testing the physics of convection (and overshoot) and early nuclear burning
 is the primary goal of combining evolution models with interferometric measurements.
 The goal of our proposal is to determine the stellar radius from a sample of 14
 PMS stars. 
From the angular diameters, the radius of the stars will be extracted with an accuracy
 of up to 10%. We will observe our targets with the UTs and AMBER in low resolution
 mode. 
For each target, a set of 3 calibrated vilibilities will be obtained, which will
 allow us to determine the angular diameter through the visibility versus projected
 baseline curves. 

Here's a list of the targets and corresponding calibrators:
