Abstract	We propose observations of new candidates for X-ray supernova remnants (SNRs) inthe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Building on a successful campaign to observecandidates with ROSAT detections in past AOs (Proposal IDs 65188, 72044, 74180,76406), we have expanded our selection criteria to include candidates withmultiwavelength signatures which have yet to be detected in X-rays. Owing to thehigh sensitivity of XMM-Newton we will be able to confirm new SNRs that areX-ray faint because of their age or ambient medium, complete the sample of knownSNRs to lower flux levels, and obtain information about abundances, densities,and supernova energies.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
