Scientific paper

Precise (to about 20 arcsec) positions are reported for the Large Magellanic Cloud X-ray sources LMC X-1, X-2, and X-3, determined with the HEAO 1 scanning modulation collimator. The error regions for LMC X-1 and X-3 contain, respectively, the B5 supergiant R148 and a possibly variable B III-IV star. Spectra taken of the latter confirm the spectral type and show that it is a member of the LMC. A search for a previously reported extended component of LMC X-1 yields upper limits which exclude it.
