Context. The Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC) is the nearest large star-forming region,
prototypical for the distributed mode of low-mass star formation. Pre-main sequence stars …

▪ Abstract The brown dwarfs occupy the gap between the least massive star and the most
massive planet. They begin as dimly stellar in appearance and experience fusion (of at least …

A universal initial mass function (IMF) is not intuitive, but so far no convincing evidence for a
variable IMF exists. The detection of systematic variations of the IMF with star-forming …

Abstract The Taurus-Auriga complex is the prototypical low-mass star-forming region, and
provides a unique testbed of the star formation process, which left observable imprints on …

We present the initial result of a large spectroscopic survey aimed at measuring the
timescale of mass accretion in young, pre-main-sequence stars in the spectral type range K0 …

We present high-resolution optical spectra obtained with the HIRES spectrograph on the
WM Keck I Telescope of seven low-mass T Tauri stars (LMTTs) and brown dwarfs in Taurus …

We have conducted a high-resolution imaging study of the Taurus–Auriga star-forming
region in order to characterize the primordial outcome of multiple star formation and the …

We have analyzed nearly all images of the Taurus star-forming region at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0,
and 24 μm that were obtained during the cryogenic mission of the Spitzer Space Telescope …

The high-precision astrometry from the second data release of the Gaia mission has made it
possible to greatly improve the census of members of nearby clusters and associations. I …

We present a high spatial resolution multiwavelength survey of 44 young binary star systems
in Taurus-Auriga with separations of 10–1000 AU. These observations, which were obtained …
