We present the characteristics of the X-ray variability of stars in the cluster NGC 2516 as derived from XMM-Newton/EPIC/pn data. The X-ray variations on short (hours), medium (months), and long (years) time scales have been explored. We detected 303 distinct X-ray sources by analysing six EPIC/pn observations; 194 of them are members of the cluster. Stars of all spectral types, from the early-types to the late-M dwarfs, were detected. Cone search capability for table J/A+A/456/977/table2 (X-ray and optical properties of NGC 2516 members in the XMM-Newton/EPIC/pn observations having more than 25 counts.)
