Each individual image was smoothed with an adaptive intensity filter. Instrumental background from an observation with closed filter wheel (from revolution 59) was subtracted before vignetting and exposure correction. The XMM-Newton pointing was aimed at $\rm RA = 05^{\rm h}31^{\rm m}20^{\rm s}$ and $\rm Dec = -65\hbox {$^\circ $ }57\hbox {$^\prime $ }38\hbox {$^{\prime \prime }$ }$ and covers about 13 $^\prime$ in radius. North is to the top and West to the right. The brightest source, located in the South, is the Be/X-ray binary system EXO 053109-6609.2.

For each source the best fit to the three EPIC spectra is shown in the upper panels (pn is always the upper spectrum and the two MOS spectra overlap). The four HMXBs including the new candidate XMMU J053011.2-655122 are shown on the left. The right column illustrates the variety of X-ray spectra from sources of different nature. The spectra of candidate AGN show steeper power-laws than HMXBs. Spectra of the candidate SNR XMMU J053226.2-655352 and foreground stars exhibit little flux above 2 keV but can be distinguished by the amount of absorption. The softest spectrum is detected from the new candidate SSS XMMU J053056.2-654809 which can be represented by a blackbody model with $kT\sim 50$ eV. For this case only the pn data yields sufficient statistics to accumulate a spectrum.
