ABSTRACT
We propose EPIC observations to survey a ~10 square degree area of the LMC down to a limiting point source luminosity of 2 x 10^33 erg/s. Its proximity makes the LMC the ultimate target for obtaining a complete inventory of SNRs, X-ray binaries and SSSs, and to study the diffuse emission of the hot ISM. Most im- portantly, the high throughput of XMM-Newton will allow us to perform detailed spectral and temporal analyses of a large fraction of sources. Together with the existing EPIC data, our observations will create a unique data set to study the star-formation history and its implications on the morphology of the ISM in the LMC. In combination with the existing surveys of the SMC, M31 and M33 this will yield important clues for the evolution of the Local Group as a whole.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:

- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
