The article discusses the formation of Sun-like stars, particularly focusing on T Tauri, a star system discovered in the mid-1800s. T Tauri consists of a triplet system: the original T Tauri North and its infrared companion T Tauri South. Notably, T Tauri North has been dimming since 2017 due to a dusty disk surrounding T Tauri South obscuring it. This phenomenon was predicted back in 2003 and is being studied through absorption spectroscopy to understand the disk's properties. The findings contribute to our understanding of early stellar evolution and dynamics in star formation.
These young Sun-like stars, termed as T Tauri, showcase significant variability, allowing us to understand stellar evolution and the dynamics of circumstellar environments.
The groundbreaking discovery of T Tauri South as a binary highlights the complexities of star formation and the significant role of surrounding materials.
