Scientific paper

The detection of 12 X-ray-emitting main-sequence B6-A3 stars in the Orion Nebula is reported. The luminosity of these stars in the 0.2-3.5 keV band is considerably in excess of field stars of the same spectral type. Consideration is given to the possibilities that these stars may not actually be the source of the X-rays, but that the emission may be attributable to T Tauri or 'naked' T Tauri star companions, or that these hot stars are indeed the sources of emission and that current theories of X-ray emission from early-type stars must be amended.
