Abstract:
We report the discovery of X-rays from both components of Cepheus A,
East and West, with the XMM-Newton observatory. HH 168 joins the ranks
of other energetic Herbig-Haro objects that are sources of T≥106K
X-ray emission. We detect 102 X-ray sources, many presumed to be
premain-sequence stars on the basis of the reddening of their optical
and IR counterparts.
Description:
We observed Cep A with the EPIC cameras of the XMM-Newton observatory
on 2003 August 23 for 43.9ks.
