UBV Photometry of OB Associations within Superbubbles of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Abstract
This work presents UBV photometry of the stellar populations associated with seven superbubble nebulae and five classical H II regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Although the nebular morphology of the superbubbles appears to be substantially evolved compared to the classical nebulae, the color-magnitude diagrams do not reveal any noticeable correlation between the resident stellar population and nebular morphology. The photometry presented here will be used in a forthcoming paper to examine further the stellar content and dynamics of these superbubbles.
