AGN in the XMM-Newton first-light image as probes for the interstellar medium in the LMC.

Abstract (from CDS):
The XMM-Newton first-light image revealed X-ray point sources which show heavily absorbed power-law spectra. The spectral indices and the probable identification of a radio counterpart for the brightest source suggest AGN shining through the interstellar gas of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The column densities derived from the X-ray spectra in combination with HI measurements will allow to draw conclusions on HI to H2 ratios in the LMC and compare these with values found for the galactic plane.
