HR diagram Pre-main sequence Luminosity Temperature
Hα emission line : accretion disk & chromospheric activity • Li I absorption line : age indicator because Li I is diminished fast during the very early phase of stellar evolution. Lyo et al. 2004a
ε Chamaelentis cluster : t = 3 - 5 Myr (Feigelson et al. 2003) • ~ 6 Myr (Luhman 2004) • η Cha cluster : t = 5 - 8 Myr (Luhman & Steeghs 2004) • = 7 - 9 Myr (Lyo et al. 2004) • TW Hydrae association : t ~ 8 - 10 Myr (Webb et al. 1999) • β Pictoris Moving group : t ~ 20±10 Myr (Barrado y Navascues 2001) • Lower Centaurus Crux : t = 17 ~ 23 Myr (Mamajek etal. 2002) • a common kinematic link with the Ophiuchus-Scorpius- • Centaurus OB Association

Spectral lines : Effective temperature (spectral type) : Luminosity (surface gravity) : Chemical composition (metallicity) valuable input for understanding PMS stellar structure and evolution.
