Abstract
Images with 50arcsec resolution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), obtained with sounding-rocket instrumentation in two vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) bandpasses, are presented. The bandpasses are each ≡200 Å wide and are centered, for hot stars, near 1500 Å and 1900 Å. Photometry was done on the digitized images for all associations in the list of Lucke and Hodge. The authors discuss the results and their relationship to the overall characteristics of star formation in the LMC. They present a simple model for propagating star formation in the LMC whose results closely resemble the distribution of associations as revealed by VUV images.
