Scientific paper

We propose a survey of six nearby Bok globules to search for X-rays from Class 0 protostars. X-rays from Young Stellar Objects are likely to originate from the near vicinity of the star itself. The detection of the X-rays from Class 0 protostars, therefore, is of particular importance, providing direct evidence that the central star has been born. However, protostars are usually deeply embedded within the cloud, so that, even the X-rays are completely absorbed. Bok globules are known as star formation sites surrounded by light and small molecular clouds of 10 Mo. The small absorption column of Bok globules provides us an opportunity to search for whether X-rays ``turn on'' during the Class 0 phase and if so, when?
