To improve our understanding of X-ray emitting regions of T Tauri stars (TTS) we are conducting an X-ray spectroscopic study of the TW Hya Association (TWA). X-ray spectra of TWA stars provide plasma diagnostics that yield insights into the origin of X-ray emission from young stars and are diagnostic of accretion processes. The co-evolutionary population of 10 Myr-old TTS, their proximity, and their lack of X-ray absorbing cloud material make the TWA well suited to X-ray spectroscopy. Here, our focus is on a binary TTS system, TWA-19AB, the only TWA system known to include a G-star, important for determining the role of mass in pre-main-sequence X-ray emission. The close (40") K7 companion will provide an X-ray spectrum of a weakly accreting star similar to TW Hya itself.
