A study of the Taurus dark cloud complex
Abstract
A near-infrared survey has been conducted of nearly 20 square degrees of the Taurus dark cloud complex. Additional observations have been made of selected objects detected in this survey. These observations show that recently formed stars are spread throughout the cloud and that these stars are primarily T Tauri stars or T Tauri-like stars. Two luminous objects are identified embedded in the reflection nebulae IC 359 and IC 2087. A new Herbig-Haro object is also described. The reddening law of the dark cloud material is discussed; it does not appear to be unusual in the infrared. Comparison of the young stellar population in Taurus with that in Ophiuchus suggests that the star formation mechanisms in the two regions are qualitatively different

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.
