UBV PHOTOMETRY OF OB ASSOCIATIONS WITHIN SUPERBUBBLES OF THE LARGE MAGELLANIC CLOUD

This work presents UBV photometry of the stellar populations associate d with seven superbubble nebulae and five classical H II regions in th e Large Magellanic Cloud. Although the nebular morphology of the super bubbles appears to be substantially evolved compared to the classical nebulae, the color-magnitude diagrams do not reveal any noticeable cor relation between the resident stellar population and nebular morpholog y. The photometry presented here will be used in a forthcoming paper t o examine further the stellar content and dynamics of these superbubbl es.
