This star is probably a giant and not a YSO.
Rebull et al. 2010 (
ApJS 186, 259
) state that "Elias 3-6 (SST Tau J042907.6+244350) has often appeared in lists of Taurus cloud members. There has been confusion in the literature about its IRAS association, with a mistaken identification with IRAS 04264+2433 (the HH 414 jet source) often quoted (e.g., Motte & Andr´e 2001). Elias 3-6 is actually IRAS 04260+2437. Elias (1978) classifies it as a field M8 III giant with 6 mag of visual extinction. The Spitzer results are fully consistent with Elias’ original result that this object is not a Taurus member. We drop it from the list as a background giant."
