Optical properties of X-ray selected stars in NGC 2244 in the Rosette Nebula
We present high spatial resolution optical photometry of NGC 2244 in theRosette Nebula using the NOAO MOSAIC Imager at Kitt Peak. We obtainedBVIR and Hα images of the central cluster and surrounding nebulae,and present results for 138 sources selected from X-ray observationswith the ROSAT PSPC and HRI. Color-magnitude diagrams of the clustershow a large number of the stars are still undergoing contraction ontothe main sequence. The faintest X-ray selected cluster members have thehighest X-ray-to-optical luminosities (Lx sog7*E30 erg s-1; Lx/Lbol ~10-2 to 10-3) and indicate they are a populationof young active late-type stars. Hα emission from the X-rayemitters is also remarkable. We have extended the detections of PMSstars in NGC 2244 well into the range of K spectral types. While most ofthe cluster stars are located in the color-magnitude diagrams in betweenthe ZAMS and the 3 Myrs isochrone, significantly younger low mass starsexist and confirm earlier reports that star formation is still going onin the Rosette Nebula/NGC 2244 region.
