AbstractWe discuss observations of open clusters and star forming regions obtained with the RGS and EPIC instruments on board XMM-Newton. These observations provide a powerful tool to investigate the temperature structure, emission measure distribution and elemental abundances of stars from the pre-main sequence phase to post-main sequence evolution. We report in particular on EPIC and RGS spectroscopy of hot and cool stars in the very young cluster around σ Orionis, of two stars in the Hyades (the main-sequence star VB 50 and the clump giant VB 71) and of two pre-main sequence stars in Taurus–Auriga (the classical T Tauri star SU Aur and the weak-lined T Tauri star HD 283572). The implications of these observations for models of magnetic activity in late-type stars, of wind emission in early-type stars, and of X-ray production in the early stages of stellar evolution are briefly discussed.
