Scientific paper

This joint Chandra/XMM mosaic of W4/W3/HB3 allows us to chronicle the X-ray output of the entire life cycle of high-mass stars, from their intrinsic and wind-collision emission, through their SN phase, and back to the embedded, protostellar X-rays heralding the next generation of massive star formation. In addition we see the feedback of these massive stars on the interstellar medium in the Perseus Arm: the stellar winds from a massive young cluster (IC 1805) have blown the W4 superbubble and chimney; perhaps an older superbubble is over 100 times brighter in X-rays due to supernovae in its interior (HB3), and the expansion of these bubbles is compressing the W3 molecular cloud and triggering a new generation of stars to form.
