Scientific paper

The HETG Orion Legacy Project is designed to accumulate a large number of high resolution X-ray spectra from young massive, intermediate mass, and low mass stars. The status as the nearest site of massive star formation and rich low-mass, pre-main sequence stellar population makes the core of the ONC an ideal Chandra Legacy high resolution spectroscopic study of young embedded cluster stars. This Chandra project is a unique enterprise to uncover properties and origins of the X-ray emission in young stellar objects with unprecedented spectral resolution.
The project so far has acquired about half a dozen HETG spectra of young stars in the ONC with up to 600 ks of exposure since the launch of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These observations have allowed tremendous advances in our understanding of young stars, the origin of their X-ray emission, and the structure of their winds and coronae. We present most recent results and outline future perspectives.
