Scientific paper

We propose XMM-Newton observations of 8 regions of the LMC with the strongest "clean" star-formation episodes in the ~6-50 Myr age range. These observations will probe the X-ray source populations in regions of different stellar content, down to a luminosity of ~10^33 erg/s in our nearest star-forming galaxy. From their optical counterparts we will classify the X-ray sources as supergiants or Be/X-ray binaries (SG- or Be-XRBs), while based on X-ray spectra and timing analysis we will identify X-ray binary pulsars. These results will address the connection between stellar and different XRB sub-populations. The proposed observations will complement previous X-ray studies of the LMC as well as investigations in other galaxies where these faint XRB populations cannot be observed.
