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 candidates withmultiwavelength signatures which have yet to be detected in Xrays. Owing to thehigh sensitivity of XMMNewton we will be able to confirm new SNRs that areXray faint because of their age or ambient medium, complete the sample of knownSNRs to lower flux levels, 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]
