Identifying the young stellar population:<br />
The Chandra Carina Complex Project<br />
● 14 368 X-ray point sources<br />
● 10 714 Carina members<br />
The first unbiased sample of the<br />
low-mass stellar population.<br />
≥ 80% (50%) complete at ~ 1 M ⊙ (0.5 M ⊙ )<br />
- 50% of the YSOs in clusters<br />
- 50% YSO widely distributed<br />
→ no “cluster of clusters”,<br />
but an association<br />
● Diffuse X-ray emission<br />
Stellar winds (+ supernovae ?)<br />
have filled the super-bubble<br />
with hot plasma.<br />
