Description
We present the first ground-based near-infrared image of the circumstellar disk around the post-Herbig Ae/Be star HD141569A initially detected with the HST. Observations were carried out in the near-IR (2.2 $μ$m) at the Palomar 200-inch telescope using the adaptive optics system PALAO.
The main large scale asymmetric features of the disk are detected on our ground-based data. In addition, we measured that the surface brightness of the disk is slightly different than that derived by HST observations (at 1.1 $μ$m and 1.6 $μ$m). We interpret this possible color-effect in terms of dust properties and derive a minimal
