Resumen:
T Tauri stars are young, low mass, pre-main sequence stars surrounded by an
accretion disk. These objects present strong magnetic activity and powerful
magnetic reconnection events. Strong shocks are likely produced in the stellar
magnetosphere by such events and charged particles accelerated up to
relativistic energies. We present a simple model for the non-thermal radiation
generated by high-energy particles in T Tauri stars. We discuss whether this
emission is detectable at high energies with the available gamma-ray
telescopes.
