Scientific paper

The molecular cloud associated with the HII region NGC 2024 contains one of the richest young stellar clusters in the Orion region. More than 300 IR sources have been detected within the cluster, and millimeter observations have revealed a group of six protostellar condensations near the cluster center which are thought to represent the earliest stages of star formation. We propose to obtain a sensitive ACIS-I image of NGC 2024 centered on this protostellar cluster. This observation will permit an accurate determination of the X-ray luminosity function of NGC 2024, and will also serve as a sensitive search for X-ray emission from protostars and from low-mass cluster members which have so far escaped detection in infrared surveys.
