Scientific paper

We propose to use an ACIS mosaic of the Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC) and its associated HII region as a testbed for understanding both high- and low-mass star formation. Our goals are: to use X-ray-selected sources to decide which infrared (IR) sources are actually RMC members; to determine if there is an X-ray population distinct from the IR population; to study X-rays from low/intermediate mass stars associated with CO clumps and embedded stellar clusters; to examine the relationships between the X-ray luminosity function (XLF), K-band luminosity function, and theoretical initial mass function (IMF) over a wide range (tenths to tens of solar masses); and to search for extended emission at the ionization front between the RMC and the Rosette Nebula.
