Key Points

The research aims to catalog high-mass X-ray binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud for comparative analysis.
Conducted a comprehensive survey using data from the eRASS1 all-sky survey.
Cross-matched X-ray positions with optical and infrared catalogues.
Assigned flags based on multi-wavelength observations to define confidence classes.
Compiled a flux-limited catalogue identifying candidate HMXBs.
Detected 53 objects, including 28 confirmed HMXBs and 21 new detections.
LMC hosts fewer HMXBs compared to SMC, with more supergiant companion systems.
Identified a candidate supergiant fast X-ray transient with phase-dependent flares.
Estimated the LMC star-formation rate at 0.22+0.06-0.07 M☉ yr-1, consistent with other tracers.
