dc.description.abstract |
The variability of young stellar objects is mostly driven by star
–
disk interactions. In long-term photometric
monitoring of the accreting T Tauri star GI Tau, we detect extinction events with typical depths of

that last for days to months and often appear to occur stochastically. In 2014
–
2015, extinctions that repeated with a
quasi-period of 21 days over several months are the
fi
rst empirical evidence of slow warps predicted by
magnetohydrodynamic simulations to form at a few stellar radii away from the central star. The reddening is
consistent with

V
and, along with an absence of diffuse interstellar bands, indicates that some dust
processing has occurred in the disk. The 2015
–
2016 multiband light curve includes variations in spot coverage,
extinction, and accretion, each of which results in different traces in color
–
magnitude diagrams. This light curve is
initially dominated by a month-long extinction event and a return to the unocculted brightness. The subsequent
light curve then features spot modulation with a 7.03 day period, punctuated by brief, randomly spaced extinction
events. The accretion rate measured from
