HD 283572 is a young T Tauri-type pre-main sequence star in the constellation of Taurus about 414 light years away, belonging to the Taurus Molecular Cloud.[3] It is a rather evolved protostar which already dispersed its birth shroud.[4] The star emits a very high X-ray flux of 1031 ergs/s. That radiation flux associated with the magnetic activity induced a high coronal temperature of 3 kEv and regular flares.[6] HD 283572 will eventually evolve to an A-type main-sequence star when on the main sequence.[3] It is no longer accreting mass, and is magnetically decoupled from the remnants of the protoplanetary disk,[3] belonging to the terminal, 3rd phase of the disk evolution.[7] Submillimeter Array (SMA) 1.3mm observations of HD 283572 detected an extreme brightening event with a radio luminosity of 8.3x1016erg/s/Hz that spanned 9 hours on January 17th 2022.[8][9] Although HD 283572 was observed by the SMA on 8 separate nights, millimeter emission was detected on one night only, strongly suggesting stellar variability as a result of an extreme stellar flare.[8][9]

Protoplanetary system

edit

HD 283572 is surrounded by a light (<0.0004 M) and faint protoplanetary disk with uncertain inclination. Different instruments yielded measurements of disk inclination to the plane of sky from 35 to 60 degrees.[7] A search for planetary transits was performed but no planets were detected as of 2019.[10]
