ROSATPSPCCatalogofLMCX-RaySources(Haberl&Pietsch)

The list contains 758 sources together with their X-ray properties. From cross-correlations of the PSPC catalogue with the SIMBAD data base and literature searches likely identifications are given in the paper from which this catalogue was derived (Haberl & Pietsch 1999, A&AS, 139, 277: Table 10) for 144 of these X-ray sources based on positional coincidence, but also taking into account X-ray properties like hardness ratios and source extent.

Forty-six known sources are associated with supernova remnants and candidates in the LMC (SNRs: Haberl & Pietsch 1999, A&AS, 139, 277: Table 6), most of them already detected by previous X-ray missions. The number of known X-ray binaries in the LMC has increased to 17, and of supersoft sources to 9. The remaining ~50% of the identified sources comprise mainly foreground stars (up to 57) and background extragalactic objects (up to 15).
