ESO-VLT and Spitzer spectroscopy of IRAS05328-6827: a massive young   stellar object in the Large Magellanic Cloud
  We present the first thermal-infrared spectra of an extra-galactic Young Stellar Object (YSO), IRAS05328-6827 in the HII region LHA 120-N148 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observed and modelled spectral energy distribution reveals a massive YSO, M=20 Msun, which is heavily-embedded and probably still accreting. The reduced dust content as a consequence of the lower metallicity of the LMC allows a unique view into this object, and together with a high C/O ratio may be responsible for the observed low abundance of water ice and relatively high abundances of methanol and CO2 ices.
