The X-ray luminosity of solar-mass stars in the intermediate age open cluster NGC 752
G. Giardino, I. Pillitteri, F. Favata +1
AIMS. While observational evidence shows that most of the decline in a star's X-ray activity occurs between the age of the Hyades (~8 x 10^8 yrs) and that of the Sun, very little i…
Open clusters as key tracers of Galactic chemical evolution. III. Element abundances in Berkeley 20, Berkeley 29, Collinder 261, and Melotte 66
P. Sestito, A. Bragaglia, S. Randich +3
Galactic open clusters are since long recognized as one of the best tools for investigating the radial distribution of iron and other metals. We employed FLAMES at VLT to collect U…
Simbol-X capability of detecting the non-thermal emission of stellar flares
C. Argiroffi, G. Micela, A. Maggio
We investigate the capability of detecting, with Simbol-X, non-thermal emission during stellar flares, and distinguishing it from hot thermal emission. We find that flare non-therm…
Results from Droxo. I. The variability of fluorescent Fe 6.4 keV emission in the young star Elias 29: High-energy electrons in the star's accretion tubes?
G. Giardino, F. Favata, I. Pillitteri +3
AIMS. We study the variability of the Fe 6.4 KeV emission line from the Class I young stellar object Elias 29 in the Rho-Oph cloud. METHODS. We analysed the data from Elias 29 coll…
Coronal abundances of X-ray bright pre-main sequence stars in the Taurus Molecular Cloud
L. Scelsi, A. Maggio, G. Micela +2
We studied the thermal properties and chemical composition of the X-ray emitting plasma of a sample of bright members of the Taurus Molecular Cloud to investigate possible differen…
X-ray Flares in Orion Low Mass Stars
M. Caramazza, E. Flaccomio, G. Micela +3
Context. X-ray flares are common phenomena in pre-main sequence stars. Their analysis gives insights into the physics at work in young stellar coronae. The Orion Nebula Cluster off…
