New high-mass X-ray binary detected in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Using ESA’s XMM-Newton spacecraft, an international team of astronomers has discovered a new, very young high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The newly found HMXB turns out to be associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) MCSNR J0513-6724. The finding is reported in a paper published October 7 on arXiv.org.
