Notes. The model used for the photoelectric absorption is wabs. The model used for the continuum and emission lines produced by an optically thin plasma in thermal collisional ionization equilibrium is vapec, using the abundance pattern of the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus molecular cloud (XEST; Güdel et al. 2007a). The second line of each period corresponds to the confidence intervals at the 90% confidence level (i.e., Δχ2 = 2.706 for each parameter of interest).

(a)

The low-level and the flaring period are labeled L and F, respectively.

(b)

Observed X-ray flux in the 0.2–10 keV energy range.

(c)

X-ray luminosity corrected for the absorption in the 0.2–10 keV energy range, at a distance of 155 pc (Lombardi et al. 2008).

(d)

The Q-value is the probability that one would observe the chi-square value, or a larger value, if the assumed model is true, and the best-fit model parameters are the true parameter values.
