The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), with its low foreground absorption and proximity, offers the ideal site to study a large sample of supernova remnants (SNRs) in detail, both spatially and energetically. It is possible to obtain a relatively complete sample of SNRs in the LMC to examine both global properties and the subclasses of SNRs. Toward this goal, we are identifying new SNRs using multi-wavelength data. Our new SNR candidates are generally fainter than the known sample, and may represent a previously missed population. Here we request XMM-Newton observations of six optically identified SNR candidates. These observations will allow us to confirm the nature, study the physical structure and evolution, and use the abundance anomaly to investigate types of supernova progenitors of these new SNRs.
