A search for CVs in a deep ROSAT LMC field with three X-ray binaries TS_13

GTThe LMC has been subject of extensive imaging observations with ROSAT. Theanalysis of more than 40 PSPC observations in a region north of LMC X4 has ledto the discovery of two new high mass Xray binaries (HMXBs) and pulsationsfrom EXO 0531096609.2. One aim of our XMM proposal is to further investigatethe spectral and temporal properties of these three HMXBs. A detection limit ofabout 10^33 erg/s will allow to search for other Xray binaries and cataclysmicvariables in the expected large sample of point sources in the field of view(more than 20 were found in ROSAT data). A complete census of the Xray sourcesin the proposed area is crucial for understanding the types of sources and forcomposition studies of the Xray source population of the LMC as a whole. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
