Orion Trapezium area ROSAT PSPC obs. II.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

A deep ROSAT PSPC image centred on the Orion Trapezium has been reduced a second time using an improved version of the PSF to fit the data.

Description

The outer rim of the field of view was also included. The new catalogue contains 316 X-ray sources which are easily identified with pre-main sequence stars of the Ori OB1 Ic and Id association.

All 316 sources were tested for variability. No variations were found inside the single exposures of about 45 minutes length each. Between the 4 exposures spaced over 5 days about 1/3 of the sources show signs of activities of various forms.

As above 25% of these have somewhat regular lights curves (monotonically rising or falling or hill- shaped) we infer that at least some outbursts with time scales longer than a day are present and that past searches for X-ray flares of pre-main sequence stars were biased towards shorter time scales.
