Abstract

Using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) we have characterised and compared the physical properties of a large sample of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars spanning a wide range of masses (0:5 - 4Mʘ), metallicities (0:1 - 1 Zʘ) and ages (0:5 - 30 Myr). This is presently the largest and most homogeneous sample of PMS objects with known physical properties. The main results of this ongoing study are briefly summarised here.
