The structure and dynamics of the unique Honeycomb Nebula in the halo of 30 Doradus

The structure and dynamics of the Honeycomb nebula in the Large Magellanic cloud are modelled as resulting from the interaction of a supernova explosi on with an existing giant shell of the type commonly found in the LMC. In p articular, the processes that may have led to the striking morphology and v elocity structure of this nebula are examined. New data of the Honeycomb ne bula, are presented. Here, spatially resolved profiles of the [S II] 6716 & 6731 Angstrom density sensitive lines, obtained with the Manchester Echell e Spectrometer, supplement previous, complementary, H alpha and [N II] 6584 Angstrom profiles. The agreements and differences between all of these data and this simple mo del are highlighted.
