摘要
We have searched for protostellar or protoplanetary structures in the vicinity of young T Tauri stars using a technique that is able to distinguish long-period components of the observed light curves. We perform a statistical spectral analysis of the one-year mean light curves of three selected stars (T Tau, DI Cep, and SU Aur) and plot synthetic light curves for the most reliable period of each star. In a first approximation, the results show a good coincidence between our synthetic light curves and the original light curves, supporting the hypothesis that protostellar or protoplanetary structures are present in the studied systems. An analysis of the 0.36–20 µm spectral energy distributions of the program stars also leads to the conclusion that infrared anomalies for young stars are most likely due to thermal radiation from not-yet-formed companions in the vicinity of the star.
