Post-T Tauri Stars in the Nearest OB Association
@article{Mamajek2002PostTTS, title={Post-T Tauri Stars in the Nearest OB Association}, author={Eric E. Mamajek and Michael R. Meyer and James William Liebert}, journal={The Astronomical Journal}, year={2002}, volume={124}, pages={1670 - 1694} }
We present results of a spectroscopic survey of X-ray– and proper-motion–selected samples of late-type stars in the Lower Centaurus–Crux (LCC) and Upper Centaurus–Lupus (UCL) subgroups of the nearest OB association: Scorpius-Centaurus. The primary goals of the survey are to determine the star formation history of the OB subgroups and to assess the frequency of accreting stars in a sample dominated by "post–T Tauri" pre–main-sequence (PMS) stars. We investigate two samples: (1) proper-motion…
