Scientific paper
We propose EPIC observations to obtain a complete survey of the SMC down to a limiting point source luminosity of 2 x 10^33 erg/s. Its proximity makes the SMC the ultimate target for obtaining a complete inventory of SSSs, HMXBs and SNRs and to study the diffuse emission of the hot ISM. Most importantly, the high throughput of XMM-Newton will allow us to perform detailed spectral and temporal analyses of a large fraction of the sources. We will identify and/or classify fainter sources using hardness ratios, long-term variability, and source extent, together with information from other wavelength bands. Including the existing XMM-Newton data our observations will create a unique data set to study the star-formation history and its implications on the morphology of the ISM in the SMC.
