Scientific paper

We present spectral types for 175 stars in the ionising cluster of 30 Doradus derived from multislit observations of 231 stars. Comparison with published classifications for 70 stars in common with other authors reveals excellent agreement with the exception of a few cases which are discussed in detail. Our new observations raise to 261 the total number of stars in 30 Dor with known spectral types, outside R136. We analyse the spatial distribution of these stars according to their spectral types, and find evidence for mass segregation. Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory.
