A Herbig Ae/Be star is a pre-main-sequence star – a young star of spectral types A or B. These stars are still embedded in gas-dust envelopes and are sometimes accompanied by circumstellar disks. Hydrogen and calcium emission lines are observed in their spectra. They are 2-8 Solar mass objects, still existing in the star formation stage and approaching the main sequence.
