Abstract
We revisit the published analyses of ROSAT X-ray observations of the star forming regions NGC 2264 and Chamaeleon I (~3 and ~5 Myr old respectively) in the light of newly published optical data. At odds with previous results on Chamaeleon I members, we find that low mass stars in both regions have near-saturated emission levels. Similarly to what previously found in the Orion Nebula Cluster, Weak Line T-Tauri Stars in NGC 2264 and in the Chamaeleon I cloud have higher X-ray activity levels respect to Classical T Tauri Stars, arguing in favor of a role of the disk and/or accretion in determining X-ray emission.Keywords
