Unveiling extremely veiled T Tauri stars

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Context. Photospheric absorption lines in classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) are weak compared to normal stars. This so-called veiling is normally identified with an excess continuous emission formed in shock-heated gas at the stellar surface below the accretion streams.
