Abstract
T Tauri stars are low mass, pre-main sequence stars. These objects are surrounded by an accretion disk and present strong magnetic activity. T Tauri stars are copious X-rays emitters. The X-rays are likely generated by powerful magnetic reconnection events. Strong shocks can be produced by massive reconnection in the stellar magnetosphere. These shocks or the reconnection of the field might accelerate particles up to relativistic energies, as observed in the Sun. We present a model for the high-energy radiation produced in the magnetosphere of T Tauri stars. We discuss whether this emission is detectable with the existing gamma-ray telescopes.
