Infall variability in the Classical T Tauri system VZ Chamaeleonis.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present time series spectroscopy of the Classical T Tauri star VZ Cha. We follow spectral variations at intermediate resolution over five successive nights, or approximately two rotation periods. We see profile features which persist on timescales longer than the expected infall time from the inner disc, and we see expected evidence of rotational variations in the lines, but we also note that rotation alone cannot produce all the observed variability and some other mechanism must be invoked. The behaviour of Hα is observed to be markedly different from that of the other lines. In particular, the evidence of rotational effects is lacking at Hα, and the activity in the red and blue wings of the line is not significantly correlated, in contrast to the other Balmer lines.
