We present a description of the data reduction methods and the derived catalog of more than 1600 X-ray point sources from the exceptionally deep 2003 January Chandra X-Ray Observatory (Chandra) observation of the Orion Nebula Cluster and embedded populations around OMC-1. The observation was obtained with Chandra's Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) and has been nicknamed the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP). With an 838 ks exposure made over a continuous period of 13.2 days, the…

A CATALOG OF CHANDRA X-RAY SOURCES IN THE CARINA NEBULA
We present a catalog of ∼14,000 X-ray sources observed by the ACIS instrument on the Chandra X-ray Observatory within a 1.42 deg2 survey of the Great Nebula in Carina, known as the Chandra Carina…
High-Resolution Chandra X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy of the σ Orionis Cluster
We present results of a 90 ks Chandra X-ray observation of the young σ Orionis cluster (age ∼ 3 Myr ) obtained with the HETGS. We use the high-resolution grating spectrum and moderate-resolution CCD…
Chandra observation of Cepheus A: The diffuse emission of HH 168 resolved
X-ray emission from massive stellar outflows has been detected in several cases. We present a Chandra observation of HH 168 and show that the soft X-ray emission from a plasma of 0.55 keV within HH…
The Chandra X-ray view of the power sources in Cepheus A
The central part of the massive star-forming region Cepheus A contains several radio sources which indicates multiple outflow phenomena, yet the driving sources of the individual outflows have not…
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CHANDRA CARINA COMPLEX PROJECT
The Great Nebula in Carina provides an exceptional view into the violent massive star formation and feedback that typifies giant H ii regions and starburst galaxies. We have mapped the Carina…
The first decade of science with Chandra and XMM-Newton
TLDR
Some of the many discoveries made by Chandra and XMM-Newton that have transformed twenty-first century astronomy are highlighted.
X-ray flares in Orion low-mass stars
Context. X-ray flares are common phenomena in pre-main sequence stars. Their analysis gives insights into the physics at work in young stellar coronae. The Orion Nebula Cluster offers a unique…
CHANDRA AND SPITZER IMAGING OF THE INFRARED CLUSTER IN NGC 2071
We present results of a sensitive Chandra X-ray observation and Spitzer mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations of the IR cluster lying north of the NGC 2071 reflection nebula in the Orion B molecular…
X-RAY PROPERTIES OF LOW-MASS PRE-MAIN SEQUENCE STARS IN THE ORION TRAPEZIUM CLUSTER
The Chandra HETG Orion Legacy Project (HOLP) is the first comprehensive set of observations of a very young massive stellar cluster that provides high-resolution X-ray spectra of very young stars…
X-rays from HH210 in the Orion nebula
We report the detection during the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (COUP) of two soft, constant, and faint X-ray sources associated with the Herbig-Haro object HH210. HH210 is located at the tip of…
