Photometric determination of the mass accretion rates of pre-main
  sequence stars. VI. The case of LH 95 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
  We report on the accretion properties of low-mass stars in the LH95
association within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Using non-contemporaneous
wide-band and narrow-band photometry obtained with the HST, we identify 245
low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) candidates showing H$\alpha$ excess emission
above the 4$\sigma$ level. We derive their physical parameters, i.e. effective
temperatures, luminosities, masses ($M_\star$), ages, accretion luminosities,
and mass accretion rates ($\dot M_{\rm acc}$). We identify two different
stellar populations: younger than ~8Myr with median $\dot M_{\rm
acc}$~5.4x10$^{-8}M_\odot$/yr (and $M_\star$~0.15-1.8$M_\odot$) and older than
~8Myr with median $\dot M_{\rm acc}$~4.8x10$^{-9}M_\odot$/yr (and
$M_\star$~0.6-1.2$M_\odot$). We find that the younger PMS candidates are
assembled in groups around Be stars, while older PMS candidates are uniformly
distributed within the region without evidence of clustering. We find that
$\dot M_{\rm acc}$ in LH95 decreases with time more slowly than what is
observed in Galactic star-forming regions (SFRs). This agrees with the recent
interpretation according to which higher metallicity limits the accretion
process both in rate and duration due to higher radiation pressure. The $\dot
M_{\rm acc}-M_\star$ relationship shows different behaviour at different ages,
becoming progressively steeper at older ages, indicating that the effects of
mass and age on $\dot M_{\rm acc}$ cannot be treated independently. With the
aim to identify reliable correlations between mass, age, and $\dot M_{\rm
acc}$, we used for our PMS candidates a multivariate linear regression fit
between these parameters. The comparison between our results with those
obtained in other SFRs of our Galaxy and the MCs confirms the importance of the
metallicity for the study of the $\dot M_{\rm acc}$ evolution in clusters with
different environmental conditions.
