description

A relation between activity and rotation in young ~ 1Myr PMS in often not observed, suggesting that the mechanism responsible for the X-ray emission may differ from the α - ω dynamo. We re-investigate the matter utilizing recent X-ray and rotational data on the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC).
