(abridged:) The XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST) surveys the most populated ~5 square degrees of the Taurus star formation region, using the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory to study the thermal structure, variability, and long-term evolution of hot plasma, to investigate the magnetic dynamo, and to search for new potential members of the association. Many targets are also studied in the optical, and high-resolution X-ray grating spectroscopy has been obtained for…

Spectral properties of X-ray bright variable sources in the Taurus molecular cloud

Aims. We analyze 19 bright variable X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST), in order to characterize the variations with time of their coronal…

The XMM-Newton Optical Monitor survey of the Taurus molecular cloud

Context. The Optical Monitor (OM) on-board XMM-Newton obtained optical/ultraviolet data for the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST), simultaneously with the X-ray…

X-ray emission from the young brown dwarfs of the Taurus Molecular Cloud

AIMS. We report the X-ray properties of young (~3 Myr) bona fide brown dwarfs (BDs) of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC). METHODS. The XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the TMC (XEST) is a large program…

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of T Tauri stars in the Taurus-Auriga complex

Context. Di erences have been reported between the X-ray emission of accreting and non-accreting stars. Some observations have suggested that accretion shocks could be responsible for part of the…

X-rays from T Tauri: a test case for accreting T Tauri stars

Context. The generation of X-rays in accreting T Tauri stars (TTS) is thought to be predominantly due to energy dissipation in magnetic elds, but alternative X-ray generation mechanisms have been…

XMM-Newton observation of the classical T Tauri star SU Aurigae and the surrounding field

Aims. We investigate the properties of the X-ray emitting plasma of the classical T Tauri star SU Aurigae and of other sources in the field of view. Methods. We use XMM-Newton to obtain a…

Coronal abundances of X-ray bright pre-main sequence stars in the Taurus molecular cloud

Aims. We studied the thermal properties and chemical composition of the X-ray emitting plasma of a sample of bright members of the Taurus Molecular Cloud to investigate possible differences among…

X-ray deficiency on strongly accreting T Tauri stars. Comparing Orion with Taurus

Depending on whether a T Tauri star accretes material from its circumstellar disk or not, different X-ray emission properties can be found. The accretion shocks produce cool heating of the plasma,…

Stable Coronal X-Ray Emission over 20 yr of XZ Tau

XZ Tau AB is a frequently observed binary young stellar object in the Taurus Molecular Cloud; XZ Tau B has been classified as an EXOr object. We present new Chandra/HETG-ACIS-S observations of XZ Tau…

New pre-main sequence candidates in the Taurus-Auriga star forming region

Aims. We have studied the X-ray source population of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC) to search for new members of the Taurus-Auriga star forming region. Methods. Candidate members have been selected…
