For 1131 of the WFPC2 sources Teff from

Hillenbrand 1997 (specctra), Da Rio et al. 2010, 2011 (narrowband photometry) available.

439 sources with U, B, I band photometry and Teff available. 339 of them are used (corrected for red

leak - no proplyds, binaries, big errors…)

1027 sources with Ha band photometry , Teff and AV available. 682 of them are used (no proplyds,

binaries, edge-on disks…)

Derivation of LACC and AV

The intersection of the reddening line (red) and the accretion curve (blue) determines simultaneously Lacc and AV.

Estimate of Lacc and AV obtained for 245 sources.

Macc estimate for 730 sources with two methods (2CD and Ha)

Fit of the the warped plane Macc – age – Mstar

Different behaviour for different mass and age ranges.

More massive stars evolve more slowly than less massive stars.
