  Title: EMBEDDED X-RAY SOURCES IN NGC 2023                                              


Abstract:
 We propose to carry out a 50 ksec pointing centered on the source NGC 2023/S105, the
 only X-ray source in the embedded young star cluster in MGC 2023, detected in our
 ROSAT PSPC pointing. In the same field of view there is also the variable star V615
 Ori, associated with Herbig-Haro objects. The goal of the ASCA observation is to
 obtain the first reliable X-ray spectrum of the extremely young embedded cluster in
 NGC 2023. We hope to discriminate between the spectrum of a wind-driven massive s
