A catalogue is given of radio sources observed in the Large Magellanic Cloud at 11 cm wavelength. A map of the radio brightness in the 30 Doradus region is included. The observations were made with a low-noise correlation radiometer and the Parkes 64 m radio telescope.

The continuum radio sources in the direction of the Large Magellanic Cloud are classified in terms of their spectral indices. Of 52 sources for which spectral data were available three distinct classes exist: (1) sources with spectral indices = ?0�20, of which 21 out of 23 have been identified with HII regions in the Henize catalogue; (2) sources with spectral indices < ?0�20 that have been identified with Henize objects, of which it is possible that many are supernova remnants; and (3) sources with spectral indices < ?0�20 that have not been identified with optical objects and are considered to be outside the LMC. Six "double sources" with one member belonging to class (1) and the other to class (2) were found. The background continuum radiation is also discussed.

The Large Magellanic Cloud has been surveyed in the radio continuum at a wavelength of 6 cm with the 4' are beam of the Parkes radio telescope. A catalogue of 95 sources and diagrams of their brightness contours are presented here.

Contour diagrams are presented for the radio continuum brightness of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds observed at a wavelength of 11 cm. The observations were made with the Parkes 64 m radio telescope, whose half-power beamwidth was 7'�35 arc.

The 30 Doradus region offers an excellent opportunity to study cluster formation processes and recent star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

AbstractThe Tarantula Survey is an ambitious ESO Large Programme that has obtained multi-epoch spectroscopy of over 1000 massive stars in the 30 Doradus region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Here, we introduce the scientific motivations of the survey and give an overview of the observational sample. Ultimately, quantitative analysis of every star, paying particular attention to the effects of rotational mixing and binarity, will be used to address fundamental questions in both stellar and cluster evolution.

We present the results of new moderate resolution ATCA observations of SNR J0455-6838. We found that this SNR exhibits a mostly typical appearance with rather steep and curved ?=-0.81?0.18 and D=43?31?1 pc. Regions of high polarization were detected, including unusually strong (~70%) region corresponding to the northern breakout. Such a strong polarization in breakout regions has not been observed in any other SNR.

We report here on preliminary infrared photometry of six WN stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Besides R136, the central object of the 30 Doradus Nebula, the sample includes three stars (R139, R140, R145) located near the center of the region (within ∼ 1 arcmin) and two more stars (R144, R147) at a distance of ∼ 5 arcmin from R136.

Optical observations have been made of the halo of 30 Doradus, in the vicinity of SN 1987A and of giant shells in the LMC.
