Scientific paper

We propose a 100 ksec ACIS-I observation of NGC 604, a giant star forming region in M33. Existing HST data have allowed to detect a large number of young massive stars in this region, and have also shown that star formation has occurred not only in recent times. NGC 604 is also a strong X-ray source, but the origin of its X-ray emission is not clear yet. The combination of high sensitivity, high spatial resolution and CCD spectral resolution of ACIS-I will enable to discriminate between various possible origins of the observed X-ray emission. We discuss different scenarios that may take place, and how the proposed Chandra observation would advance our knowledge about this region in particular, and more generally about stellar formation and interaction of stars with the surrounding medium.
