T Tauri stars (TTS) are low-mass (M ≲ 1M⊙) pre-main sequence (PMS) stars (for a general review, see Bertout 1989). They have long been known to be variable from near-TIV to near-IR wavelengths, on timescales ranging from a few minutes to a few decades. They are observed to flare in many wavenlength rages, from X-rays to the radio, and all the existing evidence is consistent with a very strong magnetic activity, in many ways analogous to solar activity (for a review, see, e.g., Montmerle et al. 1991).
