Variability of young stellar objects: accretion, disks, outflows and magnetic activity

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-08-06 v1

Abstract

This article represents a short review of the variability characteristics of young stellar objects. Variability is a key property of young stars. Two major origins may be distinguished: a scaled-up version of the magnetic activity seen on main-sequence stars and various processes related to circumstellar disks, accretion and outflows.
