The ages of pre-main-sequence stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1999 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.

Timescale of mass accretion in pre-main-sequence stars [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 We present initial result of a large spectroscopic survey aimed at measuring the timescale of mass accretion in young, pre-main-sequence stars in the spectral type range K0 - M5. Using multi-object spectroscopy with VIMOS at the VLT we identified the fraction of accreting stars in a number of young stellar clusters and associations of ages between 1 ...

Pre-main-sequence stars in the Lagoon Nebula (M8)* [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007 Abstract We report the discovery of new pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in the Lagoon Nebula (M8) at a distance of 1.25 kpc, based on intermediate-resolution spectra obtained with the Boller & Chivens spectrograph at the 6.5-m Magellan I Telescope (Las Campanas Observatory, Chile).

Pre-main sequence stars in LH 91
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 Aims. We study the accretion properties of pre-main sequence (PMS) low-mass stars in the LH 91 association within the Large Magellanic Clouds. Methods. Using optical multiband photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, we identify 75 candidates showing Hα excess emission above the 3σ level with equivalent width EWHα ⩾ 10 Å.

Simulating the Sensitivity to Stellar Point Sources of Chandra X-Ray Observations
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey is a wide and deep X-ray survey of the nearby and massive Cygnus OB2 association. The survey has detected ∼8000 X-ray sources, the majority of which are pre-main-sequence X-ray-emitting young stars in the association ...

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In our Galaxy, star formation occurs in a variety of environments, with a large fraction of stars formed in clusters hosting massive stars. OB stars have an important feedback on the evolution of protoplanetary disks orbiting around nearby young stars ...

The Pre-main Sequence: Challenges and Prospects for Asteroseismology
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Stars do not simply pop up on the main sequence. Before the stars arrive on the zero-age main sequence, they form in the collapses of molecular clouds, gain matter through accretion processes, and compress their cores until hydrogen can burn in full ...

The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey: Design and X-Ray Point-source Catalog
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The Cygnus OB2 association is the largest concentration of young and massive stars within 2 kpc of the Sun, including an estimated ∼65 O-type stars and hundreds of OB stars.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Young eclipsing binaries (EBs) are powerful probes of early stellar evolution. Current models are unable to simultaneously reproduce the measured and derived properties that are accessible for EB systems (e.g., mass, radius, temperature, and luminosity).

A Population of Dipper Stars from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite Mission
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 Dipper stars are a classification of young stellar objects that exhibit dimming variability in their light curves, dropping in brightness by 10%–50%, likely induced by occultations due to circumstellar disk material.
