The Ṁ–M relation of pre-main-sequence stars: a consequence of X-ray driven disc evolution

We analyse current measurements of accretion rates on to pre-main-sequence stars as a function of stellar mass, and conclude that the steep dependence of accretion rates on stellar mass is real and not driven by selection/detection threshold, as has been previously feared. These conclusions are reac...
