X-RAY SOURCES ASSOCIATED WITH YOUNG STELLAR CLUSTERS IN CANIS MAJOR R1

We present X-ray observations of Canis Major R1 molecular cloud performed with XMM-Newton EPIC camera, and supplemented with Chandra ACIS-S archival data. We have detected 135 X-ray sources in this region, confirming the presence of several individual faint sources, not resolved by our previous ROSAT PSPC observations. More than 60 sources are associated with stellar clusters embedded in the reflection nebulae BRC27 and VDB92. We present here the X-ray sources detected by XMM-Newton and Chandra, mainly T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be stars.
