Abstract

Context. Molecular hydrogen is the main constituent of circumstellar disks and could be an important tracer for the evolution and structure of such disks. So far, H2 has only been detected in a few disks and only through spectroscopic observations, resulting in a limited knowledge of the spatial distribution of the H2 emitting gas.
