****************************************************** PR # 43005 We propose to carry out a 50 ksec pointing centered on the source NGC 2023/S105, the only X-ray source in the embedded young star cluster in MGC 2023, detected in our ROSAT PSPC pointing. In the same field of view there is also the variable star V615 Ori, associated with Herbig-Haro objects. The goal of the ASCA observation is to obtain the first reliable X-ray spectrum of the extremely young embedded cluster in NGC 2023. We hope to discriminate between the spectrum of a wind-driven massive s ******************************************************
