Description:
We present results from three deep ROSAT high-resolution imager
observations of the Orion Nebula star-forming region. The X-ray images
contain over 1500 catalogued stars in a roughly 0.8deg2 region
centered on the Trapezium. In all, 389 distinct X-ray sources have
been detected, at least two-thirds of which are associated with a
single proper-motion cluster member. X-ray emission is detected from
stars of all spectral types, from the massive O- and B-type components
of the Trapezium to the coolest, low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS)
stars. In this paper, we focus primarily on X-ray emission from the
late-type PMS stars. Of the ∼100 late-type cluster members with
measured spectral types, approximately three-fourths have been
detected; we have derived X-ray luminosity upper limits for the
remaining stars. We found coronal X-ray emission turns on around
spectral type F6, with the upper envelope of activity increasing with
decreasing effective temperature.

Note (1): When accurate absorption values are available from published
estimates, photometric E(B-V) measurements, or the CHbeta
extinction map of the nebula, they are listed in this column.
Otherwise we assume moderate absorption (AV∼0.25mag) and
indicate the value with a ')' in column n_AV
