This paper presents the masses of young stars measured by the rotation of their circumstellar disks (Simon, Dutrey, and Guilloteau 2000). Their precision is good enough to enable meaningful tests of theoretical models of pre-main sequence evolution. The tests are however limited by the imprecision with which the distances to the stars are known. The astrometric instruments now being developed have the potential to remove this limitation.
