Large field view of the N83 ionized gas complex in the LMC OB association LH5




The LMC OB association LH5 with its central giant HII complex N83, as seen on the ESO R survey. The ionized components and three stars of the association are labeled. The marked stars are Sk-6930, the brightest star of the association, Sk-6925, the main exciting star of N83A, and BAT99-5, a Wolf-Rayet star. The WFPC2 footprints are also indicated. The white solid line shows the field of view during the HST imaging with the nebular filters (21 May 2000) and the red dashed line is the one for the stellar filters (7 February 2000). The field center is at: R.A. = 04:54:14.48, DEC = -69:10:33.7 (J2000).
