 Motivation!

Equivalent width of H (logarithmic scale)

against the color excess for the Taurus
population (after Kenyon & Hartmann 1995).!
Classical and weak-line T Tauri stars are
shown as filled and open circles, respectively.
The two dashed lines delimit the areas for
these two types of objects, based on theH
emission.!

BARRADO Y NAVASCUES & MARTIN 2003!

 All data corresponding to the previous
eight very young stellar associations.
Labels as in Fig. 4. We have also added
the criterion defined by White & Basri
(2003) as a solid line.!

BARRADO Y NAVASCUES & MARTIN 2003!

 H equivalent widths for several star-forming
regions: Orion population. Filled circles
correspond to CTTSs, open circles
represent WTT stars, and open triangles
locate the position in the diagram!
of postT Tauri. Objects with no
classification are shown as crosses. Large
open circles represent objects with mid-IR
excesses!

BARRADO Y NAVASCUES & MARTIN 2003!

 Same as (a); H equivalent widths are
plotted in the y-axis. The dashed
segments correspond to the upper
envelope of theW(H) for these three
clusters (i.e., the maximum emission due
to chromospheric activity). The thick
dotted curve is the saturation limit at log
[L(H)/L(bol)] = 3.3. Note the linear scale in
the y-axis.!

Analysis and Results!
 Conclusion and Future work!

As future work we propose to!

increase the number of
accreting stars in our sample!
to better trace the region
where evolutionary tracks!
for young accreting low-mass
stars may lie.!
Thank you very much for your attention!
