摘要
We are analyzing high-resolution Chandra ACIS-S/HETGS long integration spectra for a sample of young stars, including classical, weak-lined, and post-T Tauri stars as well as a young main sequence star. We have identified flaring and quiescent periods, based on overall X-ray luminosity, for several of the stars. We have measured line fluxes in the He-like ions separately in the flaring and quiescent epochs to determine forbidden-to-intercombination line ratios. Results from out analysis of four wTTS and one post-T Tauri star with Chandra/HETGS are included in this presentation. The temperature and density diagnostics for V987 Tau indicate that X-rays are emitted by a cool, high density plasma in the quiescent phase.
