Recent spectroscopic investigations of OB stars by Walborn (1970,1971a) have revealed the existence of OB stars with anomalous nitrogen and carbon spectra. In particular, two groups of stars were identified — those with strong nitrogen features and accompanying weak carbon-oxygen blends (called ON stars), and those with weak nitrogen features and strong carbon features (called OC stars). These groups bear a striking resemblance to the WN, WC dichotomy exhibited by the Wolf Rayet stars and is suggestive that a common process may be responsible for both phenomena.

Sk–67°105, a luminous O4f type stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, is the exiting star of the H II region N 50 (DEM 193). Niemela & Morrell (1986) found this hot star to be a massive short period double lined spectroscopic binary. Because luminous OB stars are usually found in young stellar groups, we have searched for such an aggregate in the vicinity of Sk–67°105.Here we report, as a result of our search, the discovery of a new OB association in the LMC. We also find that Sk–67°105 is the most luminous star of a small compact cluster inside this OB association.

AbstractTwo regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (centered atα = 5h 11m, δ= -66° 08’ (34B), α = 5h 27m, δ= -72° 15’ (47B) have been searched for OB and supergiant stars. A catalogue of 312 stars is presented in which objective prism spectral types, positions (1975), approximate B magnitues and cross identifications are given. About half the stars catalogued in each area are OB stars, the remainder are supergiants. The region at δ=-72° has two to three times as many F and G-type supergiants as the region at δ= -66°.

The 21 cm hydrogen-line data from a survey of the Large Magellanic Oloud with a 14',5 aerial beam have been simplified into distributions of intensities and radial velocities at profile peaks. Fifty-two large HI complexes of mean diameter 575 pc, density I hydrogen atom per cm3, and mass 4 X 106M o have been delineated. The study of the correlation between optically visible Population I components, such as HII regions and supergiant OB stars, and the neutral hydrogen has been greatly extended.
