Abstract
Thus, the matter outflow from T Tauri stars is characterized by extreme inhomogeneity: at each instant of time only < 0.1 of the whole area of the stellar surface is loosing matter. From the viewpoint of MHD-wind models (Hartmann et al. 1982) it means that there exist plages on the stellar surface (i.e. the spots with maximal magnetic field intensity and open configuration) where intensive matter outflow occurs.
