Scientific paper

The hot phase of the interstellar medium in a galaxy is produced by the energy feedback of massive stars. Although the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) offers an ideal laboratory for the study of hot gas generated by active star formation in a low metallicity environment, there have as yet been few studies of this diffuse component. Thus, we propose medium-depth XMM-Newton observations of 5 previously unobserved fields along the main body of the SMC. These fields contain regions of active star formation. The mechanical energy of stellar winds and supernovae from massive stars have created interstellar structures filled with hot gas, on a variety of scales. We will analyze the X-ray and multi-wavelength data to quantitatively assess the stellar energy feedback.
