Abstract:Context. Super-soft X-ray sources were established as a heterogeneous class of objects from observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Aims. We have searched for new sources of this class in the X-ray images obtained from the XMM-Newton survey of the LMC and additional archival observations. Methods. We first selected candidates by visual inspection of the image, and screened out artefacts which can mimic super-soft X-ray sources as well as bright foreground stars which create optical loading on the CCD… Show more
