Scientific paper

The CIGALE instrument, specially adapted to low flux observations has enabled the authors to establish that the faint LMC nebula N62B (DEM 235) is a semispherical bubble, exhibiting few filaments, with dimensions of 45×60 pc. The authors interpret the gaseous motion around the O8 I central star. An expanding velocity of ±35 km s-1 is obtained. The systemic velocity, determined from the shell seen edge-on, is 282 km s-1, the r.m.s. precision of the individual measures being 7.2 km s-1. The first estimate of r.m.s. electron densities gives values within the range of usual densities in bubbles (0.3 - 3 cm-3).
