The Ages of Pre-main-sequence Stars
The position of pre-main-sequence or protostars in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram is often used to determine their mass and age by comparison with pre-main-sequence evolution tracks. On the assumption that the stellar models are accurate, we demonstrate that, if the metallicity is known, the mass obtained is a good estimate. However, the age determination can be very misleading because it is s...
متن کاملCoronal Structure of Pre-Main Sequence Stars
The study of pre-main sequence stellar coronae is undertaken in many different wavelength regimes, with apparently conflicting results. X-ray studies of T Tauri stars suggest the presence of loops with a range of sizes ranging from less than a stellar radius to 10 stellar radii. Some of these stars show a clear rotational modulation in X-rays, but many do not and indeed the nature of this emiss...
متن کاملMagnetic flaring in pre-main sequence stars
Observations of nearby star forming clouds with imaging Xray telescopes have revealed that X-ray emission is elevated 10 − 10 above main sequence levels in low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. The variability and spectral X-ray evidence, together with circularly polarized radio continuum flares seen in a few cases, strongly argues for an origin in magnetic reconnection flares. These high lev...
متن کاملCircumstellar Disks in pre-Main–Sequence Stars
This review covers the properties of disks around pre-main– sequence stars. It is at this time in the evolution that planets form, and it is important to understand the properties of these disks to understand planet formation. I discuss disk shapes, masses and temperatures, the properties of the host stars, disk lifetimes and dissipation processes. Finally, evidence of grain growth during pre-m...
متن کاملTesting evolutionary tracks of Pre-Main Sequence stars: the case of HD113449
Evolutionary tracks are of key importance for the understanding of star formation. Unfortunately, tracks published by various groups differ so that it is fundamental to have observational tests. In order to do this, we intend to measure the masses of the two components of the Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) binary HD113449 by combining radial velocity (RV) measurements taken with HARPS, with infrared i...
