An IRAS survey of the Taurus-Auriga molecular cloud
Abstract
IRAS data are used to search for young premain-sequence stars not previously associated with molecular cloud cores in the Taurus-Auriga region. NIR photometry and optical spectroscopy suggest that many of the objects are young stars. The sample includes six new embedded sources with luminosities comparable to that of the average T Tauri star, suggesting that surveys for premain-sequence stars in the cloud are essentially complete for luminosities greater than 0.5 solar luminosities. A disagreement is found between accretion rates derived from the duration of the embedded phase and those derived from the bolometric luminosity. It is found that this disagreement may be reconciled if a star accretes most of its mass in a time that is short compared to the duration of the embedded phase or if the ages of T Tauri stars have been underestimated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
