Abstract
We present high resolution spectroscopy of a sample of 24 solar-type stars in the young (15-40 Myr), open cluster, NGC 2547. We use our spectra to confirm cluster membership in 23 of these stars, determine projected equatorial velocities and chromospheric activity, and to search for the presence of accretion discs. We have found examples of both fast (vsini>50kms) and slow (vsini 15-20kms. We are unable to explain why this saturation level, of log (L_x/L_bol)~-3.3, is a factor of two lower than in other clusters, but rule out anomalously slow rotation rates or uncertainties in X-ray flux calculations.
