This type of diagram could be called temperature-luminosity diagram, but this term is hardly ever used; when the distinction is made, this form is called the theoretical Hertzsprung–Russell diagram instead. A peculiar characteristic of this form of the H–R diagram is that the temperatures are plotted from high temperature to low temperature ...
An HR Diagram of PMS stars with different masses. The Hayashi Track is depicted as vertical lines, while the Henyey are horizontal. Higher mass stars spend very little time on the Hayashi Track, while the lowest mass stars never reach the Heyney Track, with a gradient seen of time spent on each track as the mass increases.
The unqualified term instability strip usually refers to a region of the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram largely occupied by several related classes of pulsating variable stars: [1] Delta Scuti variables, SX Phoenicis variables, and rapidly oscillating Ap stars (roAps) near the main sequence; RR Lyrae variables where it intersects the horizontal branch; and the Cepheid variables where it crosses ...
English: A Hertzsprung–Russell diagram, showing the luminosities and surface temperatures at which many classes of pulsating stars are found. Additional lines indicate where stars are found when they first fuse hydrogen into helium (zero-age main sequence, ZAMS), evolutionary tracks for stars of masses between 1 and 10 times that of the Sun, and the track along which a typical white dwarf of ...

English: Schematic diagram of two pathways of homologous recombination: the double-strand break repair (DSBR) pathway and synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) pathway. Figure 2 from Sung P, Klein H (2006). "Mechanism of homologous recombination: mediators and helicases take on regulatory functions".
The Hayashi track gives the resulting change in temperature, which will be minimal compared to the change in luminosity because the Hayashi track is nearly vertical. In other words, on the HR diagram, a T Tauri star starts out on the Hayashi track with a high luminosity and moves downward along the track as time passes.
