Scientific paper

A large bubble-like H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, N51D is shown to have internal motions of about 30 km/s but structure that is more complex than that expected for an expanding spherical shell. It is proposed that the motions are mainly driven by supersonic stellar winds from early-type stars in the central cluster, NGC 1955, and that the departures from spherical symmetry arise from interactions with a nonuniform component of the interstellar medium.
