Scientific paper

The authors present a 1/4 keV X-ray map of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained from 9 months of scanning observations with the HEAO 1 low energy detectors. The observed diffuse emission is inconsistent with models of absorption of a cosmic soft X-ray background by the neutral matter in the LMC. There is no evidence for X-ray emission from either the disk or the halo of the LMC. However, two large emission regions positionally associated with well-known optical features in the LMC are detected in the 1/4 keV band. One of these faint X-ray features coincides with a supergiant shell of optical nebulosity known as Shapley III and the other with the LMC bar.
