\tablefoot{The last column is the LMC abundance relative to the Galactic abundance, which is a parameter of the {\tt tbvarabs} absorption model \citep[][2009, in~prep.]{Wilms2000}. For all other elements (which hardly contribute to the absorption in the soft X-ray band), the average value $10^{\Delta{\epsilon}(X)} = 0.5$ is assumed.}
