New Candidates for Supernova Remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud

We propose observations of new candidates for Xray supernova remnants (SNRs) inthe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Building on a successful campaign to observecandidates with ROSAT detections in past AOs (Proposal IDs 65188, 72044, 74180,76406), we have expanded our selection criteria to include radio candidates withno Xray detection. The proposed targets are located outside the LMC surveyperformed as a VLP in AO11. Three of the four targets are covered by ROSAT PSPCpointed observations, all located far offaxis and not identified as sources.The high sensitivity of XMMNewton will allow us to detect SNRs that are Xrayfaint due to their age or ambient medium, complete the sample of known SNRs tolower fluxes, and obtain information about abundances, densities, and supernova energies. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
