Scientific paper

The distributions of luminous stars, atomic hydrogen and interstellar dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are compared. For this purpose a quantitative map of the distribution of interstellar reddenings in the LMC is constructed for the first time. The authors find a close correlation between the average areal densities of supergiants and H I only for the small number of stars in dense H I-regions. In general the distributions of young stars and neutral hydrogen are rather dissimilar. No correlation was found between the distributions of supergiants and interstellar dust. This is not compatible with the theory of stochastic self propagating star formation.
