Abstract
|
We propose spectroscopic observations of the pre-main sequence stars
born in Lynds 1340, a molecular cloud forming low and intermediate
mass stars, but no high mass stars. The data will allow us to determine
the spectral types of the observed stars, and together with photometric
data available in the 2MASS All Sky Catalog, to find ther masses and ages.
The results, combined with molecular data available for L1340, will be useful
in studying the history of star formation of the region, whose star forming
properties represent a transition between Taurus and Orion.
