T Tauri stars observing campaign
Active Dates: Nov. 6, 2012 – Nov. 30, 2013
Abstract:
Darryl Sergison (University of Exeter) is organizing a campaign on six T Tauri stars to study pre-main-sequence low mass stars using optical spectroscopy and UV-Visual-IR photometry. The study aims to build a clearer picture of the environment around young solar-type stars and characterize their various disc, accretion, and outflow structures.
Justification:
Amateur observations are uniquely useful in the study of chaotically variable young stars as they offer crucial data points in the light curve between observations made by professional telescopes. Visual or (V and Rc band) filtered CCD photometry is requested.
Requested Data Types:
Photometry, Spectroscopy
