Scientific paper

The Eta Chamaleontis cluster (6-8 Myr, d ~ 97 pc) is one of the most important nearby T associations. Its members are in an evolutionary stage in which warm inner discs, and consequently most of the accretion phenomena, are lost. These are also the time scales of planetary formation and migration. We propose to make observations pointed at the centre of the Eta Chamaleontis cluster using the EPIC cameras. We will analyse the X-ray emission of the detected sources. Our aim is to establish a complete census of X-ray emitters members of the cluster and characterize their corona in terms of temperature, emission measure, and X-ray luminosity. The results will be compared with those of other young T associations, both isolated and in star-forming regions.
