I have isolated a population of numerous F stars that appear to be pre-main-sequence (PMS). The candidate PMS stars have been identified using CM diagram, reddening, flux excess in the UV and near-infrared, and luminosity anomaly. Negative luminosity anomaly and excessive UV flux for many of these stars is suggestive of accretion disks, while the NIR excess is indicative in many cases of the presence of dust disk thermal emission. Observed overluminosity of many PMS candidates is consistent with their pre-main-sequence status. The bulk of the PMS candidates is located within 200 pc, exhibiting strong association with regions of star formation that are numerous between ~130 to 180 pc. The number of PMS candidates plummets redward of the spectral type ~ F5. This effect may provide important clues for understanding the evolution of PMS stars in the solar-mass range.
The Keck Interferometer Nuller (KIN) was used to survey 25 nearby main sequence stars in the mid-infrared, in order to assess the prevalence of warm circumstellar (exozodiacal) dust around nearby solar-type stars. The KIN measures circumstellar emiss
We present initial result of a large spectroscopic survey aimed at measuring the timescale of mass accretion in young, pre-main-sequence stars in the spectral type range K0 - M5. Using multi-object spectroscopy with VIMOS at the VLT we identified the
[Abridged] The stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) suggests that sub-solar stars form in very large numbers. Most attractive places for catching low-mass star formation in the act are young stellar clusters and associations, still (half-)embedded in
Using photometric data collected by Evryscope-South, we search for nearby young variable systems on the upper-main sequence (UMS) and pre-main sequence (PMS). The Evryscopes are all-sky high-cadence telescope arrays operating in the Northern and Sout
We use X-ray and infrared observations to study the properties of three classes of young stars in the Carina Nebula: intermediate-mass (2--8M$_odot$) pre-main sequence stars (IMPS; i.e. intermediate-mass T Tauri stars), late-B and A stars on the zero
