Abstract

The all-sky survey carried out by the extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (Spektr-RG, SRG) has provided us with spatially and spectrally resolved X-ray data of the entire Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and its immediate surroundings in the soft X-ray band down to 0.2keV with an average angular resolution of 26'' in the field of view. In this work, we have studied the supernova remnants (SNRs) and candidates in the LMC using data from the first four all-sky surveys (eRASS:4). From the X-ray data in combination with results at other wavelengths, we obtain information about the SNRs, their progenitors, and the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). The study of the entire population of SNRs in a galaxy helps us to understand the underlying stellar populations, the environments, in which the SNRs are evolving, and the stellar feedback on the ISM. The eROSITA telescopes are the best instruments currently available for the study of extended soft sources like SNRs in an entire galaxy due to their large field of view and high sensitivity in the softer part of the X-ray band. We applied the Gaussian gradient magnitude (GGM) filter to the eROSITA images of the LMC to highlight the edges of the shocked gas in order to find new SNRs. We visually compared the X-ray images with those of their optical and radio counterparts to investigate the true nature of the extended emission. The X-ray emission is evaluated using the contours with respect to the background, while for the optical we used line ratio diagnostics, and non-thermal emission in the radio images. We used the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey (MCELS) for the optical data. For the radio comparison, we used data from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) survey of the LMC. Using the star formation history (SFH) derived from the near-IR photometry of the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC) we have investigated the possible progenitor type of the new SNRs and SNR candidates in our sample. We present the most updated catalogue of SNRs in the LMC. Previously known SNRs and candidates were detected with 1{sigma} significance down to a surface brightness of {SIGMA}[0.2-5.0keV]=3*10^-15^erg/s/cm^2/arcmin^2^ and were examined. The eROSITA data have allowed us to confirm one of the previous candidates as an SNR. We confirm three newly detected extended sources as new SNRs, while we propose 13 extended sources as new X-ray SNR candidates. We also present the analysis of the follow-up XMM-Newton observation of MCSNR J0456-6533 discovered with eROSITA. Among the new candidates, we propose J0614-7251 (4eRASSU J061438.1-725112) as the first X-ray SNR candidate in the outskirts of the LMC.
