Scientific paper

I report the results of a 60 ks X-ray observation of the L1251 dark cloud in Cepheus, which was acquired with the ACIS-I camera on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Forty-three compact X-ray sources were detected. The field of view was centered on the position of IRAS 22376+7455, an embedded Class 0/I protostar that is closely associated with the bright CO emission core, L1251B-Core E. A very intense impulsive X-ray flare was observed from a location within the formal error ellipse of the IRAS source and in close proximity (within lsim1'') to a thermal continuum radio source, VLA 3. Given their small spatial offsets, the radio, far-infrared, and X-ray objects appear to be identical and consequently the likely origin and driving source of high-velocity gas flows that are observed in L1251B.
