T Tauri star comparison table

Subject has spectral type has surface temperature is an instance of has color has symbol is a kind of has synonym has definition has luminosity class has spectra peculiarity

FU Ori star cooler than G2 greater than 1000 Kelvin T Tauri star fuors A kind of T Tau stars with considerable changes in brightness. The post-eruption spectrum is that of a late supergiant.

RW Aurigae G5e V 5000 to 6000 K dwarf yellowish d nebular variable A T Tauri star with a strong ultraviolet excess. V

YY Orionis star cooler than G2 greater than 1000 Kelvin T Tauri star nebular variable Very young, late-type, low-mass stars in the gravitationally contracting stage in which the star is still accreting matter from the protostellar cloud. inverse P Cyg type emission profiles in the Ca II HK lines
