Concept information
Preferred term
YY Orionis star
Definition
- 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.
