Scientific paper

A new identification technique for OB associations in resolved galaxies is proposed and compared with other techniques available in the literature. This methodology of identification, for its intrinsic objectivity, is particularly suitable for reliable comparisons of stellar associations in galaxies. As a check, a new identification of OB associations in the Small Magellanic Cloud is given and compared with previous work. The correlation of the OB associations with the H-alpha emission in the SMC is very strong, even though roughly 70 percent of the H II regions do not contain any identified OB association.
