Scientific paper

A handful of Class I protostars have been detected in X rays, but no firmly established Class 0 object has ever been detected as an X ray source. I am proposing to obtain 60 ks pointings with the ACIS-I camera of four small dark cloud regions, each of which is known to harbor high-velocity molecular outflows, long chains of HH emission knots, and low-luminosity Class 0 IRAS sources. The goal is to determine whether the X ray and other physical properties of these objects are different from those of embedded protostars that form in much more massive clouds. Because of their lower density and mass, these small clouds may be more transparent to X rays and hence more easily probed than a dense cloud like Orion.
