In this review I briefly discuss the theory of pre-main-sequence (PMS) Li depletion in low-mass (0.075<M<1.2 Msun) stars and highlight those uncertain parameters which lead to substantial differences in model predictions. I then summarise…
We report the results of a spectroscopic survey of 20 close T Tauri binaries in the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud where the separations between primaries and their secondaries are less than the typical size of a circumstellar disk around a young…
We observed the Monoceros R2 molecular cloud with the ACIS-I array onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. From the central 3.2' x 3.2' region, we detect 154 sources above the detection limit of ~5x10^-16 ergs s^-1 cm^-2 with a 100…
We present time-series photometry of stars located in the extremely young open cluster Berkeley 59. Using the 1.04 m telescope at ARIES, Nainital, we have identified 42 variables in a field of 13'x13' around the cluster. The probable…
We present the results of a 7 mm spectral survey of molecular absorption lines originating in the disk of a z=0.89 spiral galaxy located in front of the quasar PKS 1830-211. [...] A total of 28 different species, plus 8 isotopic variants,…
We present the results of a search for new members of the Taurus star-forming region using data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and the XMM-Newton Observatory. We have obtained optical and near-infrared spectra of 44 sources that exhibit…
We present a detailed investigation of X-ray source contents of eight young open clusters with ages between 4 to 46 Myr using archival X-ray data from XMM-Newton. The probable cluster memberships of the X-ray sources have been established…
We report on the properties of pre-main-sequence objects in the Taurus molecular clouds as observed in 7 mid- and far-infrared bands with the Spitzer Space Telescope. There are 215 previously-identified members of the Taurus star-forming…
The outcome of the formation of massive stars is an important anchor point in their evolution. It provides insight into the physics of the assembly process, and sets the conditions for stellar evolution. We characterize a population of 18…
(abridged) We present new 10-micron photometry of 21 nearby young stars obtained at the Palomar 5-meter and at the Keck I 10-meter telescopes as part of a program to search for dust in the habitable zone of young stars. Thirteen of the…
We present a study of the mass accretion rates of pre-Main Sequence (PMS) stars in the cluster Trumpler 14 (Tr14) in the Carina Nebula. Using optical multi-band photometry we were able to identify 356 PMS stars showing H-alpha excess…
We present high resolution (R = 18,000), high signal-to-noise, 2 micron spectra of 52 infrared-selected Class I and flat-spectrum young stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga, $\rho$ Ophiuchi, Serpens, Perseus, and Corona Australis dark…
We investigated the properties of the late-type stellar component in the RASS at high-galactic latitude |b| based on an optically identified sample of ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) X-ray sources. The stellar sample comprises ~250 objects in…
We have identified three faint new members of the eta Chamaeleontis cluster. Spectral types of the new members are estimated to be ~M5 based on their TiO band strengths and broadband colors. With an age of 5-8 Myr for the cluster, masses of…
We have obtained high-dispersion spectra for 256 pre-main-sequence stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster in order to measure their projected rotational velocities and study the rotational evolution and physical properties of young, low-mass…
Pre-main sequence disk accretion is pivotal in determining the final stellar properties and the early conditions for close-in planets. We aim to establish the impact of internal (stellar mass) and external (radiation field) parameters on…
We present a new method for determining the age of late-K type pre-main sequence (PMS) stars by deriving their surface gravity from high-resolution I-band spectroscopy. Since PMS stars contract as they evolve, age can be estimated from…
We present a method of determining lower limits on the masses of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars and so constraining the PMS evolutionary tracks. This method uses the red-shifted absorption feature observed in some emission-line profiles of T…
We present a study of the long-term optical variability of young T Tauri stars using previously unpublished data from the SuperWASP project. Other publicly available photometry from NSVS and the NASA K2 mission were used to check and…
We have conducted a high-dispersion ($R \sim$ 34,000) optical spectroscopic study of 10 young stars near the cometary gloule CG 30 in the Gum Nebula, a diffuse H \textsc{ii} region home to at least 32 cometary globules. All 10…
