Are pre-main-sequence stars older than we thought?
We fit the colour-magnitude diagrams of stars between the zero-age main-sequence and terminal-age main sequence in young clusters and associations. The ages we derive are a factor 1.5 to 2 longer than the commonly used ages for these regions, which are derived from the positions of pre-main-sequence stars in colour-magnitude diagrams. From an examination of the uncertainties in the main-sequenc...
متن کاملPhosphoinositides: Older Than We First Thought?
Despite nearly 50 years of study, it is good to see that phosphoinositides are still capable of springing the odd surprise. Signaling by the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3)) was thought to be absent in yeast, but a recent paper now describes the presence of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
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 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 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...
