  We present continuum high resolution Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations
of the transition disk object RX J1633.9-2442, which is located in the
Ophiuchus molecular cloud and has recently been identified as a likely site of
ongoing giant planet formation. The observations were taken at 340 GHz (880
micron) with the SMA in its most extended configuration, resulting in an
angular resolution of 0.3" (35 AU at the distance of the target). We find that
the disk is highly inclined (i ~50 deg) and has an inner cavity ~25 AU in
radius, which is clearly resolved by our observations. We simultaneously model
the entire optical to millimeter wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED)
and SMA visibilities of RX J1633.9-2442 in order to constrain the structure of
its disk. We find that an empty cavity ~25 AU in radius is inconsistent with
the excess emission observed at 12, 22, and 24 micron. Instead, the mid-IR
excess can be modeled by either a narrow, optically thick ring at ~10 AU or an
optically thin region extending from ~7 AU to ~25 AU. The inner disk (r < 5 AU)
is mostly depleted of small dust grains as attested by the lack of detectable
near-IR excess. We also present deep Keck aperture masking observations in the
near-IR, which rule out the presence of a companion up to 500 times fainter
than the primary star (in K-band) for projected separations in the 5-20 AU
range. We argue that the complex structure of the RX J1633.9-2442 disk is best
explained by multiple planets embedded within the disk. We also suggest that
the properties and incidence of objects such as RX J1633.9-2442, T Cha, and
LkCa 15 (and those of the companions recently identified to these two latter
objects) are most consistent with the runaway gas accretion phase of the core
accretion model, when giant planets gain their envelopes and suddenly become
massive enough to open wide gaps in the disk.
