Discovering new data on the Enigmatic T Tau YSO
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?
