Scientific paper

The blue members of the OB association LH 39 in the Large Magellanic Cloud have been observed spectroscopically. The earliest stars in the cluster are of B0.5 spectral type. The association has therefore an age greater than about 8 Myr. It contains a Wolf-Rayet star of WN9-10 subtype. This is a further example of an old OB association containing a WR star. The implications on the initial mass of the WR progenitor are discussed.
