Example spectra from selected regions throughout the LMC. The two panels display the spectra of the different regions in Fig. 2 in the 0.2–4.0 keV range, along with the associated error-weighted residuals in the lower sub-panels. The dashed and dotted lines correspond to the thermal and nonthermal source components, respectively. For display purposes, all spectra were normalized such that their instrumental background levels are identical.
