Abstract
We have considered stellar pulsations in connection to T Tauri stars. In particular we have computed expected periods for fully convective contracting stars and the location of the beginning of intensive deuterium burning in the HR-diagram using modern values for the abundance of deuterium. If pulsational instabilities develop in this phase the expected periods range from a few hours to a few days. The results are discussed in relation to the star RY Lupi which exhibits rapid regular fluctuations in light.
