Scientific paper

New optical observations of the LMC Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), LMC X-2 and CAL87 are presented. Evidence for an 8.15 hour periodicity in the light curve of LMC X-2 is found. The optical behavior of the 10.6 hour binary CAL87 (discovered as a result of the Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)) is discussed in the light of its remarkable similarity with X1822-371. The implications of the observations are reviewed for the class of LMC LMXBs and their relationship with their galactic counterparts.
