Abstract:

We report a new high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB), found in a Swift observation performed on 2013 October 11 as part of the monitoring of the nova LMC2012 (ObsId: 00049549004). The Swift/XRT count rate was 0.023±0.008 cts s^-1, corresponding to a flux of 1.6×10^-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.3-10 keV) and an unabsorbed luminosity of 5.1×10³⁵ erg s^-1 for LMC distance (50 kpc).
