GV Tauri

Index GV Tauri

GK Tauri is a young binary system composed of T Tauri-type pre-main sequence stars in the constellation of Taurus about away, belonging to the Taurus Molecular Cloud. [1]

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

See GV Tauri and Astronomical unit

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air.

See GV Tauri and Carbon monoxide

Hydrogen cyanide

Hydrogen cyanide (formerly known as prussic acid) is a chemical compound with the formula HCN and structural formula. It is a highly toxic and flammable liquid that boils slightly above room temperature, at. HCN is produced on an industrial scale and is a highly valued precursor to many chemical compounds ranging from polymers to pharmaceuticals.

Kepler space telescope

The Kepler space telescope is a defunct space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars.

Light curve

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis.

See GV Tauri and Light curve

Main sequence

In astronomy, the main sequence is a classification of stars which appear on plots of stellar color versus brightness as a continuous and distinctive band.

See GV Tauri and Main sequence

Methane

Methane is a chemical compound with the chemical formula (one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms).

See GV Tauri and Methane

Pre-main-sequence star

A pre-main-sequence star (also known as a PMS star and PMS object) is a star in the stage when it has not yet reached the main sequence.

See GV Tauri and Pre-main-sequence star

Protoplanetary disk

A protoplanetary disk is a rotating circumstellar disc of dense gas and dust surrounding a young newly formed star, a T Tauri star, or Herbig Ae/Be star. GV Tauri and protoplanetary disk are circumstellar disks.

See GV Tauri and Protoplanetary disk

T Tauri star

T Tauri stars (TTS) are a class of variable stars that are less than about ten million years old. GV Tauri and t Tauri star are t Tauri stars.

Taurus (constellation)

Taurus (Latin, 'Bull') is one of the constellations of the zodiac and is located in the northern celestial hemisphere.

See GV Tauri and Taurus (constellation)

Taurus molecular cloud

The Taurus molecular cloud (TMC-1) is an interstellar molecular cloud in the constellations Taurus and Auriga. GV Tauri and Taurus molecular cloud are Taurus (constellation).

2MASS

The Two Micron All-Sky Survey, or 2MASS, was an astronomical survey of the whole sky in infrared light. GV Tauri and 2MASS are 2MASS objects.
