A measurement of YSO accretion with structure functions

  • 1. University of Exeter

Description

We demonstrate structure functions, long-standing tools in extra-galactic astronomy, which have been recently applied to studies of young stellar objects. They can characterise the variability in time-series data in a way that doesn’t rely on periodicity. We use structure functions to investigate the light curves of Class II YSOs in the star forming region NGC 2264.
