The discovery represents the first evidence that low-mass T.Tauri stars, which are less than 10 million years old, can emit gamma radiation.
. Fermi has been observing the sky since it launched in 2008, but about 30% of the gamma rays it has seen have yet to be attributed to a source. Thus, Filócomo and her team set about attempting to identify some of these mysterious sources.The powerful winds of super magnetic stars could destroy the possibility for life on their exoplanetsThe research team basically found that many gamma rays appear to originate from regions with actively forming stars.
The team identified three different unidentified gamma-ray sources that seemed to be coming from the direction of NGC 2071, where at least 58 T. Tauri stars are known to be currently forming. There are no other objects in the region that could be sources of gamma-ray emissions, the researchers reasoned.
