Maps of physical parameters derived from spectral fits to diffuse emission in the LMC. In each panel, the color map reflects the median parameter value as mapped in the respective color bar on top, while the typical (i.e., median) error is given in the upper left corner. The displayed parameters are absorption column density N_H, mean temperature kT_mean, electron density ${\overline{n}}_e^{\text{tot}}$, emission measure per unit area EM/Ω, nonthermal intensity Σ_Γ, and normalized abundances of oxygen, neon, and magnesium. All those regions touching the edge of the image were masked in this representation, as we consider them to be background-dominated. The gray contours indicate the smoothed broad-band intensity of diffuse emission in the LMC, as in Fig. 2. Green markers indicate bright excluded sources which may be responsible for contamination of nearby spectral extraction regions: LMC X-1 (plus), SNR N63A (star), SNR N49 (cross).
