Probing Young Accreting Stars with X-rays
Abstract
X-ray spectra and the powerful plasma diagnostics they contain give unique quantitative information on physical conditions occurring during the accretion process. We consider TW Hya, the nearest accreting T Tauri star as an example where time-domain multi-wavelength spectroscopy offers a suprising new view of mass accretion and its consequences.
