Scientific paper

We propose to use two ACIS-I pointings centered on the young, massive OB cluster in M17 (the Omega Nebula) and on its powerful X-ray outflow as a testbed for understanding recent and ongoing star formation in the M17 complex and its environmental impact. This rich field is perfect for studying X-ray emission from high-mass as well as intermediate/low-mass stars and for comparing the X-ray luminosity function in a high-mass complex to that in the closer, less powerful Orion Nebula Cluster, recently established by a long Chandra exposure. M17 is ideal for exploring the properties of diffuse X-ray emission to elucidate wind/wind and wind/cloud shock physics in HII regions and for studying embedded stellar clusters and massive protostars forming as M17 interacts with its molecular cloud.
