Eclipsing young stellar objects

Characteristics:

  • long-lasting eclipses by disk material
  • shapes can be irregular
  • timescales days to years
  • high amplitudes possible (several mags), cutoff of 1mag is probably useful
  • very few known, every new detection would help

Trigger is necessary to figure out the origin of the eclipse -- the eclipsing body could be a part of the disk, clumps, protoplanetary structures, etc.

Examples:
