Age Determination of HII Regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud and Small Magellanic Cloud
Abstract
Models of H II regions in the MC were constructed by assuming an initial burst of star formation. Effects of various initial mass functions and upper stellar mass limits are taken into account and stellar evolution with and without mass loss is considered. Limits for H II region ages are in the range 1×106 - 4×106yr.
