What Are T Tauri Stars?

T Tauri stars are less than 10 million years old. A star begins its life as a protostar still enveloped in its molecular cloud. Over the years the newborn star accretes new material from the surrounding area and develops a proto-planetary disc. Slowly, stellar winds and radiation blow away the gas and dust and when the surrounding shell is all cleared up, the star enters the T-Tauri phase.
