There is no straightforward explanation for intrinsic X-ray emission from intermediate-mass main-sequence stars. Therefore the observed emission is often interpreted in terms of (hypothesized) late-type magnetically active companion stars. We use Chandra imaging observations to spatially resolve in X-rays a sample of main-sequence B-type stars with recently discovered companions at arcsecond separation. We find that all spatially resolved companions are X-ray emitters, but seven out of eleven intermediate-mass stars are also X-ray sources. If this emission is interpreted in terms of additional sub-arcsecond or spectroscopic companions, this implies a high multiplicity of B-type stars. Firm results on B star multiplicity pending, the alternative, that B stars produce intrinsic X-rays, can not be discarded. The appropriate scenario in this vein is might be a magnetically confined wind, as suggested for the X-ray emission of the magnetic Ap star IQ Aur. However, the only Ap star in the Chandra sample is not detected in X-rays, and therefore does not support this picture.
We use X-ray and infrared observations to study the properties of three classes of young stars in the Carina Nebula: intermediate-mass (2--8M$_odot$) pre-main sequence stars (IMPS; i.e. intermediate-mass T Tauri stars), late-B and A stars on the zero
We report on the first results of a multi-wavelength approach to test the hypothesis that the X-ray emission from intermediate-mass stars is generated by late-type magnetically active companions. Our high spatial resolution observations of A/B-type s
In this work, a mass-effective temperature-surface gravity relation (MTGR) is developed for main sequence stars in the range of 6400 K < $T_{rm eff}$ < 20000 K with log$g$ > 3.44. The MTGR allows the simple estimation of the masses of stars from thei
It is now well-known that the surface magnetic fields observed in cool, lower-mass stars on the main sequence (MS) are generated by dynamos operating in their convective envelopes. However, higher-mass stars (above 1.5 Msun) pass their MS lives with
The Chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings (HETG) Orion Legacy Project (HOLP) is the first comprehensive set of observations of a very young massive stellar cluster which provides high resolution X-ray spectra of very young stars over a wide mass
