Description
The field of star and planet formation has enormously profited from the availability of high spatial resolution and infrared capabilities, although those so far do not always come together. The METIS instrument will provide high sensitivity, high spatial resolution, and high spectral resolution, which all combined are key to unveil the inner regions of protoplanetary discs, including the star-disc connection, and to probe faint and embedded systems. I will present possible observation scenarios for young stars and their innermost regions, including mapping the inner discs, detecting accretion and accretion modes, and studying the time variations at scales relevant for the inner planet regions.
