Scientific paper

We want to study the X-ray emission of the FU Orionis binary system Z CMa. The Z CMa superjet has a angular extent of approximately 8 arcmin, that at a distance of 1 Kpc corresponds to 2.3pc. The jet is being driven by an embedded protostar reaching velocities of > 600 km/s creating shocks >300$ km/s and capable to produce plasma temperatures of more than 1.e+6 K, i.e. well within the sensitivity threshold of the ACIS detectors. We believe that a longer exposure coupled with stronger shocks will provide a more convincing picture of X-ray emission from these objects.
