Scientific paper

We propose a 500 ks, 8 days long, EPIC observation of rho Oph. Due to its distance (~ 140 pc), angular extent and strong absorption from a background cloud rho Oph is the best target for an XMM-Newton study of the complex phenomena at work in star forming regions. It hosts a wide range of YSOs from Class I and 0 to the Class II and III objects. About 90 YSOs ranging from Class I to Class III with pn rate > 1 cnt/ks fall in the proposed EPIC fov. For all such YSOs we will obtain spectacular data that will allow breaking new grounds by studying variability on a variety of time scales (flares, rotational modulations, enigmatic long-term variations) and by characterizing spectra variations in search of the signature of accretion and/or circumstellar fluorescent plasma.
