Discovering new data on the Enigmatic T Tau YSOΒΆ

T Tau is a multiple component protostar in the Taurus molecular cloud. It has companions on a scales of a few arcseconds and a reflection nebula between 45 and 60” from the system (Hind’s Nebula).

Scientific reasons for studying T-Tau include:

  • How do recently released measurements in infrared catalogs like WISE or UKIDSS augment the source’s SED?
  • How variable has T Tau been in the near-IR, comparing UKIDSS to 2MASS or in the mid-IR, comparing Spitzer to WISE?
  • Are there new high resolution images of the binary components?
