MORENO-CORRAL, Marco A.; CHAVARRIA-K, Carlos  and  LARA, E. de. New T tauri stars associated with IRAS 05555-1405. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2006, vol.42, n.2, pp.195-201. ISSN 0185-1101.

We present for the first time medium resolution (∆λ/λ = 1320 Å) slit spectroscopy and MK classifications for the brightest stars that comprise the stellar trapezium associated with IRAS point source IRAS 05555-1405, in the vdB64 reflection nebula. The five brightest members of the trapezium are found through their Li I λ6708 feature to be pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. Our data are compared with those of the near infrared (NIR) 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) which confirms our results.
