INTEGRAL observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud region

Authors

Description

We present the preliminary results of the INTEGRAL survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observations have been carried out in January 2003 (about 10^6 s) and January 2004 (about 4x10^5 s). Here we concentrate on the bright sources LMC X-1, LMC X-2, LMC X-3 located in our satellite galaxy, and on the serendipitous detections of the Galactic Low Mass X-ray Binary EXO 0748-676 and of the Seyfert 2 galaxy IRAS 04575-7537.
