Scientific paper

The Trapezium Cluster is one of the youngest and closest (440 pc) star-forming regions. Many of the properties we know today are derived from X-ray signatures. This program has two goals. First we study highly resolved X-ray spectra of a large ensemble of very young and chemically similar PMS stars in terms of their magnetic and accretion properties. It is part of our HETG Orion Legacy Project which amouts to 430 ks by the end of AO8. This portion has a second purpose which aims to record the post-periastron passage of the recently discovered massive secondary of Theta 1 Ori C. Orion cannot be observed until midJuly 2007 from which on we will be able to record possible shock emission from colliding wind events or interacting magnetic fields.
