Ae Aur, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02063601

Scientific paper

We propose to observe with EPIC the environment of the runaway O star AE Aur. This high proper motion star is presently crossing a dense region of the inter- stellar medium, giving rise to the emission nebula IC 405, and this is an ideal laboratory for the study of induced star formation, under the influence of a massive star alone. Newly formed protostellar objects, although embedded in their parental cloud, should be clearly detected in the proposed X-ray observation, on the basis of evidence from other star-forming regions. The proposed 50ks observation would therefore provide a clear test of the effecti- veness of induced star-formation processes around massive stars, much clearer than possible in the more complex environment of other star-forming regions.
