Discovery of four X-ray quasars behind the Large Magellanic Cloud1

ABSTRACT
We present the discovery of four X-ray quasars (zem = 0.26, 0.53, 0.61, 1.63) located
behind the Large Magellanic Cloud; three of them are located behind the bar of the
LMC. The quasars were identified via spectroscopy of optical counterparts to X-ray
sources found serendipitously by the Chandra X-ray Observatory satellite. All four
quasars have archival V I photometry from the OGLE-II project; one of them was
found by OGLE to be variable. We present the properties of the quasars and discuss
their possible applications.
Subject headings: Magellanic Clouds — quasars: individual (OGLE050736.52–684751.7,

1. Introduction
There are a number of reasons that make quasars behind the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
— as well as other nearby galaxies — very interesting. Among other, they provide a good inertial
reference system (e.g. Anguita, Loyola Pedreros 2000) to measure proper motion of the LMC.
Also, such quasars can provide a line-of-sight probe of the interstellar medium in the LMC (e.g.
Bowen, Blades Pettini 1995; Haberl et al. 2001; Kahabka, de Boer, Bru?n 2001). One aspect
of such studies is to investigate the dust-to-gas ratio in galaxies (e.g. Fall Pei 1989).
There are only a dozen or so of publicly known quasars in the general direction of the LMC.
All these quasars are located away from the bar of the LMC, in fairly sparse stellar fields. One was
found by Blanco Heathcote (1986) via a grism survey. Crampton et al. (1997; see also Kahabka,
de Boer, Bru?ns 2001) listed several other. In their analysis of the LMC proper motions, Anguita,
