Young stars:

Double click on the Young stars Placemark to travel it its location. This image shows interstellar gas and dust around young stars at the beginning of their lives. This object, about 1,000 light-years from Earth, contains wind from the yellow central star that has already cleared much of the dust out of the central region. Many young stars, are surrounded by disks of gas and dust that form as additional material is attracted gravitationally from the surrounding nebula. Material in the disk gradually spirals in toward the star and eventually some of it accretes onto the star, increasing its mass.

Astronomers classify stars based on color, and hence on temperature. Select all of the following statements that are true about the two central stars in the image?
