Description
Pre-main sequence (PMS) stars first came into the spotlight due to their photometric variable characteristics. Observational studies have been performed on exploring variability in young stars and the role of angular momentum in their stellar evolution. The variability in a PMS star is thought to be originated via various mechanisms like magnetically induced cool spots or magnetically channelled variable accretion flows generating hot spots on the star surface, eclipsing binary, opacity due to non-uniform dust distribution, etc. In this presentation, we like to highlight some of our results on the variability of young stellar objects in a few galactic star-forming regions.
