| Search for young low-mass stars in a ROSAT selected sample south of the Taurus-Auriga molecular clouds
We present results of intermediate resolution spectroscopy of 131optical counterparts to 115 ROSAT All-Sky Survey X-ray sources south ofthe Taurus-Auriga dark cloud complex. These objects have been selectedas candidate young stars from a total of 1084 ROSAT sources in a ~300square degree area. We identify 30 objects as low-mass PMS stars on thebasis of the Li i, lambda 6708 Angstroms doublet in their spectrum, asignature of their young age. All these stars have a spectral type laterthan F7 and show spectral characteristics typical of weak-line andpost-T Tauri stars. The presence of young objects several parsecs awayfrom the regions of ongoing star formation is discussed in the light ofthe current models of T Tauri dispersal. Based on observations made withthe Isaac Newton Telescope operated on the island of La Palma by theRoyal Greenwich Observatory in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de losMuchachos of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias and with the ESO1.52m telescope on La Silla, Chile, operated by the European SouthernObservatory.
