AB Aurigae, a star that is 470 light years away, is still surrounded by the dusty detritus out of which it formed.

That would put it on the dividing line between a planet and a kind of failed star called a brown dwarf.
A "Brown Dwarf"? Oh-oh.
The professional wing of the Perpetual Victim Squad (aka PVS) are preparing their marches now (whew, at least 'niggardly' isn't mentioned too, there'd be riots).

When a star is formed what happens? Does it reach a particular mass and then just turn on like a light switch?
or does it slowly get hotter and brighter?
