Another supersoft X-ray source in the LMC.
Abstract
We have discovered another supersoft X-ray source with similar properties as the known supersoft sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The derived absorption and the lack of a bright optical counterpart indicate LMC membership. The source exhibits a very low blackbody temperature of kT_bb_ = 10-30 eV.
