Description:
    We present the results of the ROSAT PSC observations of the Praesepe
    cluster. 68 Praesepe candidates have been detected, above a threshold
    of ~2x10^+28^erg/s (2x10^21^W), in the ~4degx4deg area of the cluster 
    covered by the observations. 56 out of the 68 detected objects are
    cataloged as high probability Praesepe members.
