Description
We present a comprehensive study of the Chandra X-ray observations of the young open cluster NGC 2516. We have analyzed eight individual Chandra observations. We have combined the data to achieve the greatest sensitivity, reaching down to log f_X_=-14.56(erg/s/cm^2^), or logLX=28.69(erg/s) at the distance of NGC 2516. Out of 284 X-ray sources detected, 155 are identified with photometric cluster members, with very little ambiguity.
