Summary

[edit]
Description
English: X-ray contours of the Chandra observation overlaid onto the optical Hubble image (courtesy of J. Bally, CASA Colorado). The field of view is 30"x30". Besides the bright main Trapezium stars, which were found to be extremely hot massive stars, several externally illuminated objects are also X-ray emitters. Some of them with temperatures up to 100 Million degrees. The ones that do not show X-ray contours are probably too faint to be detected in these particular Chandra observations. Credit: J.
