| Abstract: | The Gould Belt is the local superassociation of star formation. The age of the Belt is some few 107 yr, henceforth, its population is dominated by luminous young OB associations and low mass pre-main sequence stars. Attempts
to unveil the low mass population have been run making use of the ROSAT all-sky survey. The all sky ultraviolet survey run
by the GALaxy Evolution eXplorer (GALEX) maps several regions in the Belt. In this contribution, we present the preliminary
analysis of the UV stellar population towards the Taurus region, one of the nearest and best studied regions of star formation. |
