Scientific paper

We propose ACIS-I observations on three YSOs that accompany protostellar jets. Our deep Chandra observation on Orion Molecular Cloud 3 revealed a new type of X-ray emissions in SFRs; i.e., X-rays originating from shock-excited plasma by high velocity (v=1000 km/s) protostellar jets in the proximity of a protostar. The purposes of the observations are (1) to establish the this type of X-ray emissions with a larger number of detections and (2) to examine any correlation between X-ray luminosity or plasma temperature with the existing centimeter flux density to test our interpretation. Once this type of emission is established, we will obtain a strong tool to measure the highest velocity component in protostellar jets and to estimate the rotation period of protostars.
