Best Answer

One example of a T Tauri star is the T Tauri system, after which the star types were name for.

How big is T Tauri?

T Tauri is a variable star in the constellation Taurus.Unfortunately, there is no data at the moment as to it's size, probably because of the amount of stellar material still orbiting it.


When do stars become stars?

The dividing line is usually considered to be when the accretion process stops and the T tauri wind begins. This is probably approximately coincident with the beginning of lithium fusion (a T tauri star is not yet hot and dense enough for hydrogen fusion to start).


How long does a protostar live?

A protostar will live as long as 100,000 years. After material stops falling on the protostar it will enter then T Tauri star phase.


How long does it take an M-type star to reach the main sequence compared to a star like your sun?

The main-sequence of stellar evolution is followed by stellar ignition of a protostar (Assuming it's not a failed ignition). Stars are not classified in the Hertzprung-Russel diagram's main sequence until stellar ignition has been initiated. Additionally, the length of time it may take for a protostar to reach T Tauri and initiate stellar ignition depends on the mass of the protostar. The heavier, the quicker. The lighter, the slower. For an example, it takes about 1,000 years for a 1 solar mass protostar to initiate stellar ignition. So since stars cannot be classified in the main-sequence before they initiate stellar ignition, you can't know the difference in time. since you won't know what will be what class star. The main reason is because the mass of the protostar fluctuates as it accretes matter, becomes T Tauri type and begins stellar ignition. At stellar ignition, a T Tauri star can lose up to 50% of its original mass.


Is there a star called Aldeboron?

Aldebaran, aka Alpha Tauri, is in the constellation of Taurus which is one of the zodiac constellations.

When does t-tauri star die?

A T Tauri star is sort of a precursor of a star, or about to become a "real" star. Therefore, it can last anywhere from a few million to several trillion years before it runs out of energy, depending on its mass.


Can you consider sun as a t tauri star?

No, all T Tauri stars are very young, only a million or so years old (it is a stage in the birth of a star). Thus the Sun was once a T Tauri star but as it is now 4600 million years old, it left that stage of its life a long time ago.

How big is 17 Tauri?

T Tauri stars are pre-main sequence stars. They are not a particular star and can vary in size depending on the propagator star and the amount of matter around it. For the individual star [See related question]

What occurred during the T-tauri Phase of the development of the sun?

During its T-Tauri phase, when the Sun first started shining, it was not very bright. But it was very powerful, nevertheless, and spit out a stream of particles into space.


What will a high mass protostar turn into?

A protostar is the first building block of the main star. As it has not yet accumulated enough mass to join the main sequence, it will be smaller than the main star. The next stage will be a T Tauri star.
