Variability of young stellar objects: accretion, disks, outflows and magnetic activity
arXiv:1504.06428 · doi:10.1002/asna.201512185
Abstract
This article represents a short review of the variability characteristics of young stellar objects. Variability is a key property of young stars. Two major origins may be distinguished: a scaled-up version of the magnetic activity seen on main-sequence stars and various processes related to circumstellar disks, accretion and outflows.
