Scientific paper

We propose to obtain a good quality high-resolution X-ray spectrum for the M-type classical T~Tauri star (CTTS) VV~Sco. Our goal is to investigate the characteristics of the X-ray emitting plasma in a star-disk system with a very low mass accreting star. The proposed XMM observation will allow us to test different scenarios proposed to explain accretion-driven X-rays in pre-main-sequence stars, and hence to improve our understanding of the mechanisms and physical conditions which regulate the accretion process in CTTSs and its possible influence on the coronal emission.
