Astronomers investigate the curious case of PDS 11 Binary system

BV R color composite of PDS 11, with North up and East to the left. This 4′×4′ composite image is constructed from our observations with the HCT and is color coded as blue, green and red in B, V , R, respectively. The image is centered on PDS 11 binary system, with the northeastern component being PDS 11A. Credit: Mathew et al., 2017.

A team of Indian astronomers has recently studied a peculiar binary system, revealing new insights into the nature of its stars. The findings allowed the researchers to reclassify PDS 11 as an old, dusty, wide binary classical T Tauri system in which both components are actively accreting...
