Scientific paper

Observations of the Trapezium region in the Orion Nebula have been obtained with the high-resolution X-ray imaging instrument on the Einstein Observatory. At least 58 sources of the X-ray emission have been revealed, and all but two can be identified with visible stars. The strongest source is the star theta(1)C, which excites the emission nebula, and has an X-ray luminosity of 6 x 10 to the 32nd ergs/s. No strong X-ray emission has been observed from members of the infrared cluster embedded within the Orion molecular cloud.
