Herbig Ae/Be stars

Herbig Ae/Be stars (so called Herbig-Bell) are young object of spectral type A or earlier, with emission lines, located in an obscured region of the sky and illuminates fairly bright nebulosity in its immediate vicinity (star forming regions).

Many of this pre-main sequence stars are located on the Orion nebula. Note that T Tauri type stars are low-mass counterparts of higher-mass Herbig Ae/Be stars. Fu Orionis stars can be also likened to the Herbig Ae/Be class.

Often, the only difference between the Ae/Be stars and the Herbig Ae/Be stars comes from the presence of the association with nebulosity for the last situation. Generaly, the emission concern H-alpha and Ca II H&K lines.
