New Extreme Adaptive Optics instruments are allowing unprecedented views of the inner regions of
planet-building disks and exoprotoplanets as the planets are forming. The SCExAO instrument on the Subaru
telescope will has been involved in these observations, which will continued to be carried out in the near
future. The interpretation of the near-IR colors will depend on that of the star, often unavailable in
these images. We have found that coordinated integrated-light data at these wavelengths can be critical for the
their interpretation, especially as these are often variable stars. We have selected 6 systems for
observing, the first 2 to be observed in 2021A, if our Subaru proposal is accepted. For the IRTF data, we
will use SpeX. We have considerable experience with SpeX, and have even observed some of the stars
previously. From the previous data, we know we can get the needed S/N in 60 minutes per observation. We
intend to bracket the SCExAO runs with 2 IRTF runs of 120 minutes duration [2 science targets per shift.
