It is by now evident that most young stars have associated disks and/or envelopes, which may be active (accreting) or passive (reprocessing stellar photons), or both. Knowing how such disks evolve is crucial to our understanding of how stars form, and may be relevant to other questions, such as the time available for the formation of planets in solar nebulae. In this poster we discuss the properties of pre-main sequence circumstellar disks in Lynds 1641 in Orion, the nearest giant molecular cloud complex.
