Abstract

The Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC) ranks among the nearest and best-studied low-mass star formation regions. We have initiated comprehensive surveys of the TMC, in particular including a deep X-ray survey of nearly 5 sq. degrees with XMM-Newton and a near-to-mid-infrared photometric survey of 29 sq. degrees with the Spitzer Space Telescope, mapping the entire cloud in all available photometric bands. We present a summary of selected aspects of the X-ray results in the context of the TMC population and evolution. We address the physical interpretation of our new X-ray data and discuss the young stellar population. Key words: Taurus Molecular Cloud, X-rays. 1.
