Scientific paper

A photographic atlas of close pairs of star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud is presented here. The criterion for inclusion of cluster pairs in the atlas was an upper limit of 18.7 pc for the projected separation between the centers of the clusters in each pair. Accurate coordinates for the clusters, the projected separations and estimates of the diameters and positional angles are given and some of the global properties of the cluster-pair population of the LMC are discussed. It is found that the individual clusters in pairs preferentially have nearly equal sizes.
