Scientific paper

Results are reported for UBV photometry of the candidate stars for three of the X-ray sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC X-1, LMC X-2, LMC X-3). Since none of these sources is a proven eclipsing X-ray binary and identification cannot be established by correlating X-ray and optical periods, the candidate stars were examined for variability. No statistically significant variations are found in the examined candidates for LMC X-1 (CPD -69 deg 476 and CPD -69 deg 474) and LMC X-2 (HDE 271213). However, the data suggest variability in the LMC X-3 candidate (LMC X-3/8).
