Abstract:
    We present an X-ray study of the high metallicity young open cluster
    Blanco 1 based on XMM-Newton data. X-ray spectroscopy of cluster
    members is presented for the first time as well as new X-ray
    distribution functions of late-type stars. We detected all known dF
    and dG stars in the EPIC field and 80% and 90% of dK and dM stars,
    respectively. The X-ray spectral analysis of the X-ray brightest
    cluster stars and X-ray color analysis of a larger sample show that a
    model with two temperatures (at about 0.3 and 1keV) explains the
    quiescent activity phase spectra. We discuss also the nature of
    unidentified X-ray sources in the observed region and their X-ray
    spectral properties.

Description:
    The observation studied here was performed with the XMM-Newton
    satellite in June 2002 during revolution 0461 with a nominal duration
    of 50ks.
