[47.10] X-Ray Emission from the Ursa Major Group Detected in the ROSAT All Sky Survey

R.A. Stern (LMSAL), J.H.M.M. Schmitt (U. Hamburg), W. Voges (MPE), J.R. Stauffer (SAO)

We discuss the X-ray properties of members of the Ursa Major Moving Group detected in the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS). More than 80% of the solar-type (F8-G8) UMa Group members or candidates listed by Montes et al. are seen in the RASS data. We will compare the X-ray luminosities of the UMa Group (age ~ 300 Myr) with those of other young clusters, and examine the issues of group membership and possible contamination by young field stars in the detected sample.

This work was supported in part by the Lockheed Martin Indepedent Research program
