Scientific paper

We propose to use four ACIS-I pointings around the sparse and isolated high galactic latitude cometary globule CG 12, the most active star forming cloud among the known cometary globules (CGs). From the known population of BA stars we predict 100 lower mass stars to be detected. With the X-ray and follow up optical and near-IR observations, we will define the pre-MS population of CG 12, establish its spatial distribution, individual stellar masses, ages, and presence or absence of inner disks. This will further studies of protoplanetary disk evolution and planet formation away from ionizing OB stars. In addition these observations may shed light on how a CG morphology arose at this isolated location, which at high galactic latitude and far from any OB-type star is atypical for CGs.
