We present the detection of high energy white-light flares from pre-main sequence stars associated with the Orion complex, observed as part of the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). With energies up to $5.2\times10^{35}$ erg these flares are some of the most energetic white-light flare events seen to date. We have used the NGTS observations of flaring and non-flaring stars to measure the average flare occurrence rate for 4 Myr M0-M3 stars. We have also combined our results with those from previous studies to predict average rates for flares above $1\times10^{35}$ ergs for early M stars in nearby young associations.

Transitional disks and their origins: an infrared spectroscopic survey of Orion A
过渡盘是围绕年轻恒星的原行星盘,内部有洞或间隙,周围是光学厚的外部盘,通常是内部盘。在这里,我们提出了62个新的过渡盘在猎户座A恒星形成区的意见。这些都是使用\textit{Spitzer Space Telescope}的红外光谱仪确定的,并随后使用红外望远镜设施的SpeX确定恒星和吸积参数。我们结合这些新的观察与我们以前的结果过渡盘在金牛座,变色龙I,蛇夫座和英仙座,并与档案X射线观测。这产生了一个样本的105个过渡盘的“集群”年龄3百万年或更少,迄今为止最大的组装。我们使用这个样本来搜索盘中的径向结构和许多其他系统属性之间的趋势,以便对过渡盘的可能起源进行限制。我们看到了宿主恒星吸积速率和不同盘形态的清晰进展。我们确认,过渡盘与完整的中央结算有中值吸积率的数量级小于径向连续磁盘相同的人口。前过渡盘--那些有间隙的物体将内部和外部盘分开--具有介于两者之间的中等吸积率。我们的结果从搜索统计上显着的趋势,特别是有关$\dot{M}$,强烈支持,在这两种情况下的差距更有可能是由于木星行星或褐矮星轨道内的差距,而不是任何的光蒸发,湍流或晶粒生长过程,可以导致磁盘耗散的引力影响。我们还发现,II类YSO的过渡盘的分数是大的,0.1-0.2,特别是在最年轻的协会。
