| Abstract: | In order to obtain optical identifications and further information about the X-ray emission of sources discovered in the EINSTEIN IPC survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), we have used the EXOSAT CMA and EINSTEIN HRI at selected positions. These observations have so far resulted in several identifications (including 4 stellar objects with mv  14 to 21 and a Seyfert galaxy), and the discovery of two new X-ray sources. Medium energy X-rays (2–6 keV) have been detected from the brightest SNR in the SMC, 1E0102.2-7219. We present here an initial report of these results. |
