In this thesis we present the results of a high angular resolution study of the first
stages of planetary formation in circumstellar accretion disks around young stars.
We report mm and cm observations toward three different transitional disks around
stars with masses between ~0:4 and ~ 2 M and ages between ~ 1 and ~ 10 Myr.
These observations, obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Atacama
Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA), have allowed us to study the thermal
continuum emission of the large dust grains as well as the free-free emission from
ionized gas in the disk and its surroundings. In addition, we have complemented these
observations with the modeling of the dust thermal emission using self-consistent
radiative transfer codes for accretion disks irradiated by its central star that calculate
their temperature and density distribution, as well as the predicted dust emission.
