T Tauri was the first "T Tauri star" discovered. It is supposed to be a newly formed star with a very strong stellar wind. The object detected has a mass 5-10 times that of Jupiter. Since the system isn't done forming, astronomers aren't sure if the object will become a star or just a very large planet.
