Scientific paper

We propose a 530 ks X-ray survey of the population of young stars embedded in the L1641 portion of the Orion A giant molecular cloud, the closest giant molecular cloud to the Sun. In our existing Spitzer survey of this cloud, we have found 140 protostars and 700 young stars with disks. The X--ray observations are the premier method of identifying the remaining young stars without disks. With these data we can study: 1) The relative importance of clustered and isolated star formation 2) The effect of environment on star formation and disk evolution and 3) The evolution of the X-ray emitting plasma from the protostellar to pre-main sequence phase.
