Context. Dippers are typically low-mass, pre-main-sequence stars that display dips in their light curves. These dips have been attributed to dusty warps that form in the inner part of the disk. Aims. Our goal is to derive the characteristics of dipper stars in Taurus to assess the physical mechanism...
