Scientific paper

Recent observations of some classical T Tau stars have revealed an anomalous type of thermal X-ray spectrum characterized by the superposition of a steady, very soft and little absorbed component and a very hard, strongly absorbed and flaring component. While the latter is probably originating in a magnetic corona, the former has been interpreted as being X-ray emission from the shocked base of the jets detected in these sources. We propose a systematic, small survey of nearby jet-driving classical T Tau stars to determine if such unusual spectra are a general property of these objects and to elucidate the underlying heating process.
