Optical spectroscopy of X-ray sources in the Taurus molecular cloud: discovery of ten new pre-main sequence stars

L. Scelsi, G. Sacco, L. Affer +4

We have analyzed optical spectra of 25 X-ray sources identified as potential new members of the Taurus molecular cloud (TMC), in order to confirm their membership in this SFR. Fift…

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…

X-ray variability of NGC 2516 stars in the XMM-Newton observations

A. Marino, G. Micela, I. Pillitteri +1

We present the characteristics of the X-ray variability of stars in the cluster NGC2516 as derived from XMM-Newton/EPIC/pn data. The X-ray variations on short (hours), medium (mont…

Accretion and Outflow-Related X-Rays in T Tauri Stars

M. Guedel, K. Briggs, K. Arzner +22

We report on accretion- and outflow-related X-rays from T Tauri stars, based on results from the "XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud." X-rays potentially form…

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…
