\caption{Overview of the observed LMC targets. 
The targets \object{Sk~--67 5} and \object{Sk~--70 120} are comparison stars used for telluric correction 
and stellar line identification. 
Adopted \Ebv\ values are corrected for Galactic foreground extinction (see Table~\ref{tb:Ebv}).
The final magnitudes and colour indices are on the photometric system defined by \citet{1992AJ....104..340L}. 
The ${\it UBV}$ optical photometry for the remainder of the LMC stars was taken from \citet{1999ApJ...515..128M} and \citet{2003ApJ...594..279G}.
