Abstract:
    We used the High-Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on board the
    Chandra X-Ray Observatory to perform two observations, separated by 3
    weeks, of the Orion Trapezium region. The zeroth-order images on the
    Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer provide spatial resolution of 0.5"
    and moderate energy resolution. Within a 160"x140" region around the
    Orion Trapezium, we resolve 111 X-ray sources with luminosities
    between 7x10^28^ and 2x10^32^ergs/s. We do not detect any diffuse
    emission. All but six sources are identified.
