SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 200058

Title: X-RAY PROPERTIES OF VERY MASSIVE STARS WITH VERYDIFFERENT METALLICITIES:THE ``STARBURSTS'' NGC 3603 AND NGC 346

Observer: CORCORAN

Subject Category: Normal Stars and WD

Seq: 200058 ObsId: 00633

Long-term Plan bin: 30-Apr-2000

ABSTRACT

We propose to use ACIS-I to image the centers of the starburst analogues NGC 3603 in the Galaxy and NGC 346 in the SMC. This study will enable us to definitively determine the effects of abundance on X-ray emission, will provide X-ray luminosities for nearly 100 stars, will provide X-ray spectra for dozens of massive stars, and will enable us to examine the nature of diffuse emission and SNR on the local ISM.
