Scientific paper

A detailed analysis of the X-ray emission from the largest H II region complex in the Local Group, 30 Dor, is presented. Applying a new maximum entropy deconvolution algorithm to the Einstein Observatory data, reveals striking correlations among the X-ray, radio, and optical morphologies of the region, with X-ray-emitting bubbles filling cavities surrounded by H-alpha shells and coextensive diffuse X-ray and radio continuum emission from throughout the region. The total X-ray luminosity in the 0.16-3.5 keV band from an area within 160 pc of the central cluster R136 is about 2 x 10 to the 37th ergs/sec.
