Exploring the Wing of the SMC

The Magellanic Cloud provides the nearest example for tidally interacting andstarforming galaxies. The wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud is an excellenttarget, to study sources in a tidally disturbed environment. We propose tosurvey further regions of the wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud to betterconstrain the Xray source population and the amount of diffuse Xray emissionin this region.
