Scientific paper

The Perseus cloud (d = 320 pc) is the nearest giant molecular cloud and harbors two rich clusters of pre-main sequence stars: NGC 1333 and IC 348. The proposed ACIS exposures will provide the deepest study of young stellar X-ray emission ever achieved and should detect about 400 sources. This study will improve the census of young stars in the clusters; probe the relationship between X-rays, disks and outflows; and investigate X-ray properties as a function of stellar luminosity, mass and especially age. The findings should give insight into possible effects of magnetic activity on protostars and T Tauri stars, such as X-ray and particle irradiation of the disk.
