Scientific paper

High spatial resolution optical and UV images will be obtained of the stellar-like luminous object R136 in the core of a giant extragalactic H II region, the 30 Dor complex. This observation will clarify whether it is a very dense clusters of massive early type stars or whether it is a small group of or even if it is a single object in the 500 to 2000 solar masses range. Settling this question for the supermassive star candidates advocated in th Local Group will provide strong constraints for the interpretation of central objects in galaxies where star clusters appear unresolved. Prerequisite for the execution of this program is the assessment of the OTA and camera best focus
