T Tauri stars and flare stars are both magnetically active late-type stars of low mass and low to moderate luminosities. The flares observed in these two classes of variables show similar properties and, thus, probably have the same physical origin. On the other hand, at least the majority of the classical T Tauri stars seem to be surrounded by cool, dusty (accretion) disks, which are absent or undetectable in most classical flare stars.
