Narrow-band spectrophotometry observations (Cohen, 1975) showed that the extremely young star HL Tau has an absorption feature at 3.1 μm well matched by extinction from pure ice solid grains (radius a≈0.3μm, mice ≈10-4 gr cm-2). This feature, not present in others (more evolved) T Tau stars, suggests that ice may be only found around the very youngest T Tau stars and progressively disappears as starsbecome increasingly visible through their circumstellarshells (Cohen, 1975).
