We present near-infrared H- and K-band spectro-interferometric observations of the gaseous disk around the primary Be star in the δ Sco binary system, obtained in 2007 (between periastron passages in 2000 and 2011). Observations using the CHARA/MIRC instrument at H band resolve an elongated disk with a Gaussian FWHM 1.18 × 0.91 mas. Using the Keck Interferometer (KI), the source of the K-band continuum emission is only marginally spatially resolved, and consequently we estimate a relatively…
