We present the sharpest and deepest near infrared photometric analysis of the core of R136, a newly formed massive star cluster at the centre of the 30 Doradus star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. We used the extreme adaptive…

Observations of massive star-forming regions show that classical stellar wind models over-predict the luminosity of the X-ray emitting gas, indicating a significant fraction of wind energy is lost. In this paper, we present a…

Context: The young massive cluster R136 at the center of 30 Doradus (30 Dor) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) generates a cavity in the surrounding molecular cloud. However, there is molecular gas between 2 and 10 pc in projection from…
