Scientific paper
We propose EPIC observations to survey a ~10 square degree area of the LMC down to a limiting point source luminosity of 2 x 10^33 erg/s. Its proximity makes the LMC the ultimate target for obtaining a complete inventory of SNRs, X-ray binaries and SSSs, and to study the diffuse emission of the hot ISM. Most im- portantly, the high throughput of XMM-Newton will allow us to perform detailed spectral and temporal analyses of a large fraction of sources. Together with the existing EPIC 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 LMC. In combination with the existing surveys of the SMC, M31 and M33 this will yield important clues for the evolution of the Local Group as a whole.
