Scientific paper

We propose a 300 ks observation of the starburst region NGC602 at the rim of supergiant shell SGS-SMC1. NGC602 exemplifies the synergy of star formation and large scale ISM structures in a metal-poor dwarf galaxy. This deep XMM-Newton observation will result in a superb image of the entire region and yield the physical parameters of the hot plasma across the starburst from X-ray spectroscopy. The fundamental questions about the role of massive stars in producing the largest structures in the ISM and in triggering the formation of new stars will be addressed. This XMM-Newton observation will establish a template for studies of the interaction between hot plasma, star formation, and structure of the ISM.
