= T Tauri star
{wiki=T_Tauri_star}
A T Tauri star is a type of young, pre-main-sequence star that is in the process of forming. These stars are typically less than a few million years old and are characterized by their variability in brightness and strong stellar winds. T Tauri stars are associated with the early stages of star development, often found in star-forming regions such as molecular clouds. The name "T Tauri" comes from the prototype star of this category, which is located in the constellation Taurus.
