Our prime concern is how young stellar objects evolve. Particularly we are interested in the changes of their X-ray luminousities with evolution. Young stellar objects are deeply embedded, so X-ray emission of their central stars is heavily absorbed. Especially in Classical T Tauri Stars, it is thought that their X-ray luminousities determined by soft X-ray data are doubtful. The anticipated data will allow us to determine accurate their X-ray luminosities and will provide some information on the hidden central stars.
