Scientific paper

We propose observations with XMM-EPIC in two regions near Bellatrix (Gamma Ori). Both fields contain some weak-line T Tauri type stars (WTTS) which have been recently recognized as members of a nearby (~100 pc) young (~25 Myr) stellar association. Our goal is to study the young stellar population in our vicinity in order to understand the star formation history of the solar neighbourhood. Particular goals for this proposal are: i) to detect the faintest X-ray sources members of the association in those regions; ii) to study the X-ray properties of the most conspicuous sources and characterize the sample in terms of coronal emission; iii) to compare the results with those obtained in field stars in order to investigate the star formation history in the solar vicinity.
