**Table 5:** Parameters of the spectral fits for the brightest point sources. Stated errors correspond to the 90% confidence level. The global metallicity was set to $0.3~Z_{\odot}$ , as appropriate for the LMC, for all sources except XMMU J045534.9-661525 (source # 19), for which we adopt solar abundances since it corresponds to a foreground star. Absorbed fluxes are given in the spectral range 0.4-10 keV and in units 10^-14 ergs cm^-2 s^-1. The results correspond to a simultaneous fit of all EPIC spectra available. A constrained fit for XMMU J045744.1-662741 is also listed below.
