Flux densities of the optical counterpart to LXP 169, from UV to NIR wavelengths. Observations have been dereddened, with an LMC extinction between 0 (red) and 0.73 (blue). Green points show the results for the adopted extinction of A_V  LMC = 0.51 mag. Stellar atmosphere models of O and B stars are overlaid (see details in Sect. 5.1). The inset is a close-up view on the JHK bands region, showing the NIR excess.
