Cool Stars 14 - Submitted Abstract # 52 This version created on 05 October 2006 The youngest X-ray protostar & triggered star formation in IC 1396N Konstantin Getman, Penn State University Eric Feigelson, Penn State University Gordon Garmire, Penn State University Patrick Broos, Penn State University Junfeng Wang, Penn State University We present the integrated Chandra + Spitzer study of the IC 1396N cometary globule within the large nearby HII region IC 1396. We discovered the population of very young objects (3 Class III, 16 Class II, and 6 Class 0/I) with an elongated source spatial distribution and an age gradient oriented towards the exciting stars. This convincingly shows for the first time that star formation in the globule is directly triggered by the radiation and winds from nearby massive stars. The Chandra source associated with the luminous Class 0/I protostar IRAS 21391+5802 is one of the youngest objects ever detected in the X-ray band. ----------------------------------
