Preferred term

YY Orionis star  

Definition(s)

  • A YY Orionis star is an extremely young star, preceding even the T Tauri stage. YY Orionis stars are very young, late-type, low-mass stars, still contracting gravitationally and accreting matter from the protostellar cloud. They show inverse P Cygni profiles corresponding to an infall of material at 300–400 km/s directly onto the star. (Encyclopedia of Science, by David Darling, https://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/T/T_Tauri.html#YY_Orionis_star)
