Scientific paper

G305, one of the nearest giant HII regions, contains a WR binary, eight distinct clusters each containing hundreds of stars and eight maser sources and ucHII regions each containing 4-8 very young O stars. The bubble contains ~30 O stars suggesting a population ~15,000 cluster members. A 125-ks ACIS exposure will detect all of the high-mass stars and a high fraction of the low-mass YSOs in the central clusters and HII regions. A 60-ks EPIC exposure will do the same in the sparser outer clusters and HII regions. The EPIC observation may detect diffuse emission in the inner cavity or within the optical HII region RCW 74. Our goals are to obtain ACIS and EPIC spectra of the high-mass stars, EPIC and RGS spectra of WR 48a, EPIC spectra of diffuse X-rays and a census of the low-mass YSOs.
