 Porto-Arcetri-Napoli Cooperation on The Study of Young Stars and Their Environments Principal investigator The cooperation supported under this project aims at extending the joint work of the three towards understanding the origins of stellar evolution and activity in solar analogs (and slightly more massive ones) at an early age of about 10^6 years (thousandth of the solar current age). Activity in these stars is associated both with the structure in the interior, and with the stellar surface where strong mass loss in the form of winds and outflows is present with inflowing circumstellar disk material. The goal is to cover a wide range of aspects in these young stars that builds on the common expertise of the teams involved in order to obtain results on the early evolution of this important class of stars and the mechanisms behind their strong activity.
