ABSTRACT
WE PROPOSE A 500 KS, 8 DAYS LONG, EPIC OBSERVATION OF RHO OPH. DUE TO ITS DISTANCE (~ 140 PC), ANGULAR EXTENT AND STRONG ABSORPTION FROM A BACKGROUND CLOUD RHO OPH IS THE BEST TARGET FOR AN XMM-NEWTON STUDY OF THE COMPLEX PHENOMENA AT WORK IN STAR FORMING REGIONS. IT HOSTS A WIDE RANGE OF YSOS FROM CLASS I AND 0 TO THE CLASS II AND III OBJECTS. ABOUT 90 YSOS RANGING FROM CLASS I TO CLASS III WITH PN RATE > 1 CNT/KS FALL IN THE PROPOSED EPIC FOV. FOR ALL SUCH YSOS WE WILL OBTAIN SPECTACULAR DATA THAT WILL ALLOW BREAKING NEW GROUNDS BY STUDYING VARIABILITY ON A VARIETY OF TIME SCALES (FLARES, ROTATIONAL MODULATIONS, ENIGMATIC LONG-TERM VARIATIONS) AND BY CHARACTERIZING SPECTRA VARIATIONS IN SEARCH OF THE SIGNATURE OF ACCRETION AND/OR CIRCUMSTELLAR FLUORESCENT PLASMA.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
