Some Results of an H Survey in the Taurus Dark Clouds

Introduction

H emission in stellar spectra is one of the distinct indicators of chromospheric activity of dwarf stars, especially in the early stages of their evolution. These stars usually form so-called T-associations and are often T Tauri type stars when studied in detail. Stars with strong H emission can be found in large-scale spectral surveys of star forming regions (hereafter SFR) carried out using wide field cameras equiped with an objective prism. We have used this method to search for and study H emission line stars in the nearest SFR in the Taurus dark clouds (hereafter TDC). Preliminary results were presented by Parsamian Hojaev(1985).
