- Based on observations obtained at the European Southern Observatory
using the Very Large Telescope in Cerro Paranal (program
67.C-0549(A)), the ESO New Technology Telescope in La Silla
(program 69.B-0126(A)), and the 1.5 Danish telescope, also in La Silla (program 69.C-0423(B)).

- Note that Muzerolle et al.
(1998b) use in their plots the flux emitted per
unit surface, adopting a fiducial radius of 2
for
classical T Tauri stars. We rather use the flux integrated over
the entire surface in Eq. (1), assuming that the correlation found
by Muzerolle et al., which spans over three orders of magnitude in
mass loss rate for the classical T Tauri stars in their sample,
relates mass accretion rate to total CaII line luminosity, and
that it applies also at the lower masses (and radii) of the
objects discussed here.
