Interstellar Extinction and Stellar Population in the 30 Doradus Region
Abstract
Summary. We present new area-integrated photometry in uvby and R (A = 3300 A, AA = 80 A) in a region around 30 Doradus previously mapped with the ultraviolet experiment onboard ANS. The discussion of these and earlier observations leads to the conclusion that reddening values based on this material are easily overestimated. There is evidence of a significant contribution of early type supergiants to the intrinsic energy distribution. Key words: Large Magellanic Cloud - extinction - associations
