	T Tauri Stars
		T Tauri is the prototype for a class of very young stars, still in the process of gravitational contraction.
		T Tauri is the prototype for a class of very young stars, still in the process of gravitational contraction; that is, they have yet to evolve to reach the main sequence.
		Thus, T Tauri stars are a transitional phase between the IR sources indicating proto-stars which are still shrouded in dust, and stars newly arriving at the main sequence.

	T Tauri star
		T Tauri stars are found only in nebulae or very young clusters, have low-temperature (G to M type) spectra with strong emission lines and broad absorption lines.
		The weak T Tauri stars are of particular interest since they provide astronomers with a look at early stages of stellar evolution unencumbered by nebulous material.
		The nearest T Tauri stars occur in the Taurus molecular cloud and the rho Ophiuchus Cloud, both about 460 light-years (140 parsecs) away.

	AAVSO: T Tauri, February 2001 Variable Star Of The Month
		This spectral feature is seen in the atmospheres of the T Tauri stars, which implies, in the astronomical sense, that T Tauri stars are a young, low-mass stars that are contracting as they evolve toward the main sequence stage of stellar evolution.
		He chose T Tauri to be the protoype of the class since "it is best known, is among the brightest, and represents the group with respect to both emission and absorption spectra." Up to this point, these stars had been classified as irregular variables.
		While T Tauri variations may result from instabilities within and interactions with the surrouding accretion disk, FU Orionis (also known as FUors) activity results from a dramatic increase in instability and the dumping of large amounts of matter on the accompanying star (Kaler 1999).

	T Tauri
		Not far from T Tauri, Hind found a reflection nebula, now called Hind’s Variable Nebula, illuminated at the whim of its unreliable neighbor.
		Then in 1890, nearly 40 years after the discovery of the strange star, Shelburn Burnham found that T Tauri itself is nestled within a very small nebula, now known popularly as Burnham’s Nebula.
		As if all this were not enough, T Tauri turns out to have a binary companion, detected by its infrared glow, 0.5" to 0.7" to the south (hence known as T Tauri S, while T Tauri becomes T Tauri N), and there is even data to such that T Tauri is a triple-star system.

	Phob-hom
		These stars are divided into two groups: the classical T Tauri stars, that undergo a moderate to strong mass accretion process, and the weak-line T Tauri stars, for which this process is quite attenuated or has already finished.
		These stars are mostly weak-lined T Tauri stars, young objects in which the accretion of matter from a circumstellar disk is already finished or very weak.
		For those classical T Tauri stars for which the variability was well reproduced by hot spots, a relation was found between the amplitude of the variability and the H alpha equivalent width, in the sense that larger amplitudes corresponded to larger H alpha equivalent widths.

		A pity too, as Zeta Tauri is among the most prominent of any stars that make constellation figures, the star representing one of the celestial Bull's outstretched horns.
		Defining mid-third magnitude (3.00), Zeta Tauri is in truth a brilliant hot blue class B (B2 or B4) giant or subgiant (we adopt a B2 subgiant).
		Zeta Tauri, which itself varies by a tenth of a magnitude, is accompanied by a much lower mass companion that orbits with a period of 0.36 years at a distance of only about an astronomical unit.

	Tauri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tauri were the original inhabitants of the southern coast of Crimea, inhabiting the Crimean Mountains and the narrow strip of land between the mountains and the Black Sea.
		The Greeks identified the Tauric goddess with Artemis Tauropolos or with Iphigeneia, daughter of Agamemnon.
		Although the Crimean coast eventually came to be dominated by Greek (and subsequently Roman) colonies, notably the one at Chersonesos, the Tauri remained a major threat to Greek power in the region.

	A triplet of binary stars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The mechanism behind the variable non-thermal radio emission from the binary star system V471 Tauri, which comprises a white dwarf and a main sequence companion star, is being investigated by Michelle Storey and Jenny Nicholls.
		Recent observations indicate that the radio emission from V471 Tauri varies as the two stars orbit each other, with a drop in intensity as the white dwarf is eclipsed by its companion.
		The V471 Tauri system will eventually evolve to a state where the outermost layers of the secondary star will be dragged from it by the gravitational attraction of the white dwarf.

	Exploring News & Features - A Question of Planets
		They propose that most older T Tauri stars haven't lost their disks at all: The disk material has simply changed into a form that is virtually invisible to Earth-based telescopes.
		Although T Tauri stars may have strong stellar winds, scientists now consider the strongest source of hydrogen-alpha emission to be hydrogen gas spiraling in from the surrounding disk to fall onto the star.
		Because the "naked" T Tauri stars do not have strong hydrogen-alpha lines and there is no visible evidence that they possess protoplanetary disks, astronomers have concluded that they must have lost the disk of dust and gas that they had when they were younger.

	Top Story - DISK AND JET FROM YOUNG STAR DL TAURI - June 06, 2002
		DL Tauri is relatively young, about 2 million years old, a small fraction of its estimated lifespan of more than ten billion years.
		In the Hubble image, the disk surrounding DL Tauri is the circular reddish-orange area, and the gas jet is the fuzzy line extending toward the bottom left of the image.
		If further observations reveal that the jet in DL Tauri is moving at typical speeds, astronomers estimate DL Tauri has been ejecting gas jets for at least a few centuries, based on the size of the jets in the Apache Point photo.

	More Sun-like stars may have planetary systems than currently thought
		Classical T Tauri stars — those less than 3 million years old — are invariably accompanied by a thick disk of dust and gas, which is often called a protoplanetary disk because it is a breeding ground for planet formation.
		They propose that most older T Tauri stars haven't lost their disks at all: The disk material has simply changed into a form that is nearly invisible to Earth-based telescopes.
		The dense disks of dust and gas surrounding classical T Tauri stars are easily visible because dust glows brightly in the infrared region of the spectrum.

	CFHT's Image of the Week
		The companion, T Tauri South, was detected in the near infrared J-band for the first time by the authors.
		It is a mixture of material leftover from the original cloud that gave birth to T Tauri (at large scale) and from material ejected by the stars as they formed (at small scales).
		It is this "wind" from the Sun that is responsible for the Northern light for example.

	T Tauri star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roughly half of T Tauri stars have circumstellar disks, which in this case are called protoplanetary disc because they are probably the progenitors of planetary systems like the solar system.
		It is thought that the active magnetic fields and strong solar wind of Alfvén waves of T Tauri stars are one means by which angular momentum gets transferred from the star to the protoplanetary disc.
		A hypothesised T Tauri stage for our Solar System would be one means by which the angular momentum of the contracting Sun was transferred to the protoplanetary disc and hence, eventually to the planets.

	Star baby: T Tauri shows that a stellar nursery can be a rough-and-tumble place to live - Out There - star formation ...
		Nowadays all stars of similar age and mass are known as T Tauri stars: they're immensely important because they afford astronomers a chance to study, by inference, the early history of our own solar system and Sun, born more than four and a half billion years ago.
		Among the most significant discoveries has been that T Tauri was part of a multiple birth: astronomers identified a second star in the system in 1981 and a third star in 1097.
		As T Tauri consumes the matter around it, it grows in mass and in energy output, often spitting up swirling streams of energetic particles called T Tauri winds.

	T Tauri Stars: Overview
		T Tauri stars can change spectroscopically such that the border W(H Alpha)=10 Å is crossed over [Bertout and Bouvier 1989].
		The optical excess in T Tauri stars implies that the photospheric lines in these stars are not as deep as those of a main sequence star of the same spectral type.
		The observational evidence for their presence in T Tauri stars is overwhelming: forbidden lines, such as [O I] and [S II], often display a high velocity emission component at about -100 to -200 km/s [Hartigan et al.

		It is believed that starspots trace the location of strong magnetic fields on the surface of other stars, so identifying their location on the surface of T Tauri stars provides clues to the nature of the magnetic fields believed to be responsible for controlling the winds and accretion flows around these stars.
		Recently, we have Doppler imaged the Classical T Tauri star Sz 68, and have found that the starspots on its surface are concentrated near the rotation pole.
		Current theories which attempt to explain the process by which disk material accretes onto Classical T Tauri stars all require the star to possess a strong, dipolar magnetic field and the Doppler image of Sz 68 suggests that this might in fact be true.

		The peak in the spectrum due to carbon ions is much smaller in the giant star than in the Sun-like star, whereas the carbon peak in V471 is intermediate between the two.
		The X-ray spectrum of V471 Tauri in the middle panel shows just this effect - the carbon peak is intermediate between that of a Sun-like star and an isolated red giant star.

		Therefore we have put together a sample of binary and multiple T Tauri stars in which we can study the X-ray emission of each star in ROSAT HRI pointings.The advantage of investigating bound stars is that they have the same age, distance and metallicity and we do not mix up these parameters.
		We study X-ray emission properties of young late-type pre-main sequence stars (T Tauri stars) and the spatial distribution of new T Tauri stars found by ROSAT.Also, we investigate X-ray emission of brown dwarfs, the first of which were detected by ROSAT in the Cha I cloud.

	Magnetic fields on T Tauri stars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		T Tauri stars are young stars with masses of about one solar mass and ages of about one million years, and thus resemble our sun at that age.
		The angular momentum problem of star formation is not only crucial for the understanding of T Tauri stars but also for the understanding of our solar system, as most of the mass of the solar system is in the sun, while most of the angular momentum is in Jupiter.
		Currently, the most popular model for T Tauri stars is that a magnetic field with a strength of about 1 kG couples star and disk, such that angular momentum is transported outward, while matter is flowing inwards.
