Stellar Contraction Tracks

Stellar Contraction Tracks is a theoretical construct in stellar astrophysics that represents the evolutionary paths of pre-main-sequence stars in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram as they gravitationally contract toward the zero-age main sequence, distinguished from other evolutionary tracks by their dependence on initial mass, angular momentum, and accretion history during the contraction phase.
