Scientific paper

The starburst region N11 is the second largest star formation complex in the LMC. It contains four OB associations distributed in a central superbubble and dense HII regions along its periphery, indicating sequential star formation. Spitzer observations have revealed hundreds of massive protostars in N11. The relatively simple structure of N11 makes it an ideal starburst region for detailed study. We request a 300 ks ACIS-I observation of N11 to determine the X-ray properties of point sources and diffuse emission at arcsecond resolution. This deep observation will allow us to study (1) discrete X-ray source population and empirical L_x/L_bol, (2) X-ray emission from protostars, (3) bubbles/superbubbles and stellar energy feedback, and (4) physical structure of a starburst region.
