Extremely Active Cool Stars in the Young Open Cluster NGC 2362
Abstract
NGC 2362 is one of the youngest open stellar clusters in our Galaxy and is centered around the massive O-type star tau CMa. This cluster exhibits several hundred cool stars in the pre-main sequence phase. We used the ROSAT PSPC and HRI to obtain deep X-ray images of NGC 2362. Here we present first results of an in-depth study of the X-ray properties of the cool star cluster members.
