Title: The near-IR shape of the Big Blue Bump: under the hot dust emission 
Authors: Makoto Kishimoto, Robert Antonucci, Omer Blaes 
Topic: 2 
Session: oral 
Abstract: The spectral shape of the Big Blue Bump in the near-IR is very 
important theoretically, but essentially buried under the strong hot dust emission. 
I will present the near-IR polarimetry results to reveal the spectral shape for the 
irst time. I will discuss the results in terms of a robust bare-disk prediction and
 the effect of self-gravity in the outer part of the disk.
