Scientific paper

Spiral features with ages of 10 Myr or less in the LMC are briefly characterized on the basis of an IRAS 100-micron contour map and grey-scale image. Previously known spiral features, centered around the H II complex 30 Dor, are revealed by extensive regions of blackbody-emitting dust, which also indicate the presence of additional features. The formation of the young spiral features is explained in terms of the stochastic star-formation model of Gerola and Seiden (1978) and Canto et al. (1980).
