Abstract (EN): The hydrogen emission line is a defining characteristic of young stellar objects probing the planet forming regions of the disks. The limiting sensitivity of current interferometers has precluded its detailed study. We'll review our current understanding of hydrogen emission, recent results and project the science that can be achieved with sensitive interferometers such as the PRIMA off-axis mode and GRAVITY.
