X-ray emission in the enigmatic CVSO 30 system

CVSO 30 is a young, active, weak-line T Tauri star; it possibly hosts the only known planetary system with both a transiting hot-Jupiter and a cold-Jupiter candidate (CVSO 30 b and CVSO 30 c). We analyzed archival ROSAT, Chandra, and XMM-Newton data to study the coronal emission in the system. According to our modeling, CVSO 30 shows a quiescent X-ray luminosity of ≈8？×？10^{29 erg s？1. The X-ray absorbing column is consistent with interstellar absorption. XMM-Newton observed a flare, during which a transit of the candidate CVSO 30 b was expected, but no significant transit-induced variation in the X-ray flux is detectable. While the hot-Jupiter candidate CVSO 30 b has continuously been undergoing mass loss powered by the high-energy irradiation, we conclude that its evaporation lifetime is considerably longer than the estimated stellar age of 2.6 Myr}
