The Taurus-Auriga association, also known as the Taurus-Auriga molecular clouds (TAMC), is a stellar association located at a distance of around 140 parsecs from Earth in the constellation of Taurus. It is the nearest large star formation region (SFR) to Earth. Despite the low and relatively diffused star formation rates of the association, the rate of star formation has been accelerating over the past few million years.
