Scientific paper

The authors present VBLUW observations of stars in emission nebulae of the SMC (N66, N83, N90) and the LMC (N8, N9, N11E, N23, N43, N48, N59, N84, N148, N159, N160A, N185, N186). The stellar population (colour indices, luminosities) and the extinction in the central regions of the nebulae are derived. The authors find several stars in particular in N159 and N160A, with extinctions Av > 1.5 mag. Intrinsically more luminous, hence more massive, stars, or groups of stars, are located in the regions of the highest extinction.
