Scientific paper

We propose to perform a Chandra ACIS-I 100 ks observation of the star forming region NGC 2264 (in Monoceros), achieving an unprecedent sensitivity of fx ~ 5e-16 erg cm-2 s-1 (0.1-4 kev), or Lx ~ 4e28 erg s-1 (for the commonly assumed distance of 760 pc). This will allow us to detect more than 85% of NGC 2264 low-mass members at least down to 0.1 Msun and a sizable fraction of even lower mass members making possible: 1) to derive a reliable Initial Mass Function (IMF) at the very low-mass end, 2) to investigate the role of magnetic fields in the formation process and resulting IMF, 3) to test the coronal emission level of young brown dwarfs, 4) to study the relation between coronal emission level and PMS evolution during the first 3-10 millon year of stellar lifetime.
