The population of young stars in Orion A: X-rays and IR properties Proceedings Paper (Web of Science)

abstract

  • AbstractStars in the very early stages of their formation are characterized by strong infrared excess and X-ray emission. We present the results of the survey of Orion A in both the infrared and X-rays obtained with the Spitzer and XMM/Newton observatories. We study the spectral-energy distribution class of the young stellar object (YSO) population using infrared colors from 2mass and Spitzer (IRAC and MIPS) and by means of X-ray fluxes, luminosities and plasma temperatures. We discuss clustering properties and spatial segregation among different infrared YSO classes to trace their formation history.
