Deep Hard X-ray Survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud
read the original abstract
Results of the deep survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), performed with the INTEGRAL observatory, are presented. The long exposure (~7 Ms) allowed us to detect twenty one sources in this sky region: ten belonging to the LMC itself (7 HMXBs, 2 PSRs, 1 LMXB), six of extragalactic origin and three belonging to other galaxies from the Local Group - the Milky Way (2 sources) and Small Magellanic Cloud (1 source). Four new hard X-ray sources of these 21 ones were discovered during the survey in addition to IGR J05414-6858 reported earlier; two of them were identified with extragalactic objects. We report also for the first time the detection of a hard X-ray emission from the Crab-like pulsar PSR J0537-6910 and identification of the hard X-ray source IGR J05305-6559 with the high-mass X-ray binary EXO 053109-6609.
