The young high eccentricity binary DQ Tau exhibits powerful periodic mm flaring attributed to magnetosphere collisions of binary components. Simultaneous with mm CARMA, we propose combined GTO+GO Chandra ACIS-I3 observation of the periastron passage to search for X-ray emission from colliding magnetospheres. Properties of the discovered X-rays will be compared to those of the known X-rays at the orbital phase away from periastron. To give insights into the mechanism of X-ray production, morphology, energetics, magnetic field strengths, sizes of X-ray emitting coronal structures will be inferred and compared to those of the big COUP X-ray flares (Getman et al. 2008). This project has potential to offer us a different window to the origin of X-rays from young stars.
