Abstract

Using data from the all-sky X-ray survey with the eROSITA telescope onboard the SRG orbital observatory and the optical catalog of Blanco 1 cluster members constructed from Gaia data, we have investigated the X-ray emission from cluster stars. Of the 723 cluster members located in the eastern Galactic part of the sky, eROSITA detects X-ray emission from 110 stars, thereby increasing the number of known sources by more than a factor of 2. At the Blanco 1 distance (~234pc) the median eROSITA sensitivity in this sky region corresponds to a 0.3-2.3keV luminosity LX~1.1*10^29^erg/s, allowing more than 60% of the solar-type stars to be detected within the Blanco 1 tidal radius. For one source a strong (more than a factor of 10) X-ray variability on a time scale of six months has been recorded. This is a late-M star. The RX=log(LX/Lbol) distribution of Blanco 1 stars is bimodal. The left peak at RX_-4.2 is formed by FGK stars, while the right peak at RX~-3.1 consists predominantly of K and M stars. A comparison of the properties of X-ray sources in the similarly aged Blanco 1 and Pleiades clusters has shown a high level of consistency, pointing to a common evolutionary scenario for the X-ray activity of stars in these clusters.
