Scientific paper

Using the ACIS-I, we will observe the young open cluster NGC 2362 in order to study the coronal properties of its 5 Myr-old pre-main-sequence stars. Notwithstanding its moderate distance of about 1500 pc, this very rich cluster can be considered an evolved version of the Orion Nebula Cluster and is therefore of particular interest, both for star formation studies (e.g., of the Initial Mass Function) and for coronal activity research. Low line-of-sight extinction and the absence of circumstellar disks ease both observation and interpretation. With the requested exposure time of 100 ksec we expect to detect several hundred late-type stars, yielding a substantial fraction of the entire cluster population.
