Description:
We have analyzed archival Einstein Observatory images of a roughly 4.5
square degree region centered on the Orion Nebula. In all, 245 distinct
X-ray sources have been detected in six High Resolution Imager (HRI)
and 17 Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) observations. An optical
database of over 2700 stars has been assembled to search for candidate
counterparts to the X-ray sources. Roughly half the X-ray sources are
identified with a single Orion Nebula cluster member. The 10
main-sequence O6-B5 cluster stars detected in Orion have X-ray
activity levels comparable to field O and B stars. X-ray emission has
also been detected in the direction of four main-sequence late-B and
early-A type stars. Since the mechanisms producing X-rays in late-type
coronae and early-type winds cannot operate in the late-B and early-A
type atmospheres, we argue that the observed X-rays, with
LX∼3x1030ergs/s, are probably produced in the coronae of unseen
late-type binary companions. Over 100 X-ray sources have been
associated with late-type pre-main sequence stars.
