Description:
The ROSAT HRI LMC source catalogue is based on all 543 pointed
observations of the ROSAT HRI between 1990 and 1998 with exposure
times higher than 50 sec. The observations covered a 10 deg x 10 deg
field including the LMC. The catalogue contains 397 X-ray sources.
Sources showing flux variability in ROSAT HRI and PSPC are listed in
Table 1. Table 2 contains HRI sources which were identified with known
objects in other catalogues and literature. Table 3 is a list of new
classifications. The whole source catalogue from HRI observations is
given in Table 4.

Note (1): For sources which are listed in the ROSAT PSPC catalogue
(Haberl & Pietsch, 1999, Cat. J/A+AS/139/277) PSPC count rates are
taken from the catalogue. Otherwise PSPC count rate is the 2 sigma
upper limit from maximum likelihood algorithm ('<' in column Uplim).
Note (2): fg: foreground
Candidates from literature are marked with '?' behind the source class
New classifications are put in < >
