Abstract
A total soft X-ray luminosity of approximately 1038 ergs s-1 was observed from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) during pointed rocket observations in November 1973. Simple spectral parameters are derived and discussed. Upper limits at 1 KeV to several known LMC point sources are presented. A diffuse bar source reported previously was not detected. Strong limits are placed on the fraction of halo and extragalactic diffuse X-ray flux observed in the direction of the LMC due to the lack of correlation of the 0.25 KeV diffuse flux with interstellar hydrogen in the Galaxy and in the LMC.
