We propose observations of nine NEW candidates for SNRs in the LMC. These sources were detected in ROSAT data and classified as candidates for thermal SNRs based on their X-ray properties and radio counterparts. Using EPICs as the primary instruments we will detect emission lines of ionized atoms characteristic of thermal SNRs and determine the spatial extent. The high sensitivity of XMM-Newton will allow to detect SNRs that are X-ray faint either because of their age or the ambient medium and enlarge the sample of known SNRs to lower brightness levels. We will thus be able to construct a more complete X-ray luminosity function of SNRs in the LMC and will obtain information about typical abundances, densities, and initial supernova energies in the LMC.
