Scientific paper

High-resolution X-ray observations of young massive stars and their surrounding clusters are yielding new insights into the star formation process. We wish to study many facets of massive star formation with a 60-ks ACIS-I observation of G333.6-0.2, a nearby Giant HII Region (GHR) formed very recently, along with two other very young GHRs, in the giant molecular cloud (GMC) G333. We will study embedded massive stars, their surrounding compact cluster of pre-main sequence stars, and the wider context of star formation and GMC evolution in G333, which may be an OB association in the making. We expect to identify hundreds of cluster members and perhaps diffuse X-rays tracing wind-shocked plasma filling G333.6-0.2's large-scale bipolar bubble.
