The Age of Taurus: Environmental Effects on Disc Lifetimes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 January 2016
Abstract
Using semi-empirical isochrones, we find the age of the Taurus star-forming region to be 3-4 Myr. Comparing the disc fraction in Taurus to young massive clusters suggests discs survive longer in this low density environment. We also present a method of photometrically de-reddening young stars using iZJH data.
