作为ROTOR计划的一部分，在Maidanak天文台获得了20年以上的TTauri和Herbig Ae星的UBVR观测的长期，统一的系列进行了分析。我们发现星星+盘系统的特征变率时间尺度与热光度之间存在线性关系：光度越高，亮度变化越慢。这种依赖关系在很宽的质量和光度范围内都是有效的，从金牛座T星到赫比格Ae星。平均而言，变化的时间尺度是四分之一的开普勒周期在尘埃升华半径，这是已知的干涉观测。有些金牛座T型恒星的周期从25天到120天不等，在几个观测季节中都能保存下来。这些周期对应于开普勒轨道，半长轴从0.14到0.52 Au。所获得的结果提供了间接证据，证明在恒星向主序星演化的早期阶段，在恒星的气尘盘中存在原行星。
Long-term, uniform series of UBVR observations of T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars obtained over 20 yr at the Maidanak Observatory as part of the ROTOR program are analyzed. We find a linear relationship between the characteristic variability time scale and the bolometric luminosity of the star+disk system: the higher the luminosity, the slower the brightness variations. This dependence is valid over a wide range of masses and luminosities, from T Tauri stars to Herbig Ae stars. On average, the variability time scale is one-quarter the Keplerian period at the dust-sublimation radius, which is known from interferometric observations. Some T Tauri stars have periods from 25 to 120 days, which are preserved over several observing seasons. These periods correspond to Keplerian orbits with semi-major axes from 0.14 to 0.52 AU. The results obtained provide indirect evidence for the existence of protoplanets in the gas-dust disks of stars in early stages of their evolution toward the main sequence.
