Scientific paper

We propose for XMM-Newton observations of two highly extincted fields in the ChaII star forming region. Our aim is to complete the census of cloud members using X-ray emission as a means to discover young stars. A clear assessment of the full stellar population is essential to establish the evolutionary state of a star forming cloud. ChaII seems to represent a comparatively young phase where many stars retain their disks. But a large number of low-mass members may still be hidden in the dark parts of the cloud. In contrast to earlier X-ray instrumentation XMM-Newton provides enough sensitivity and an extended spectral range allowing to penetrate the highly absorbed parts of ChaII, and study the stellar population across regions of high and varying extinction.
