Mass accretion rate against disk mass. Crosses are T Tauri stars from Hartmann et al. (1998) and Najita et al. (2007). Dark crosses are transitional disks. The values for our 26 HAeBes with disk mass estimates are represented with solid symbols, triangles for the upper limits. Group JH stars are plotted in violet and group K stars in red. The solid line represents the best fit to our sample and the dashed lines  ± 1 dex. The close binaries for both T Tauri and HAeBe stars are surrounded by solid circles.
