Abstract:
We present CCD photometry and spectroscopy for stars in Lucke-Hodge 58,
an isolated OB association in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
northwest of 30 Doradus. The photometric catalog contains 839 stars
with UBV magnitudes complete to V~19. We have obtained spectra
and classified 35 stars; combined with previous published spectral
types, we find 22 O-type stars. The earliest type is O3-4 V, and there
are three WR stars in the association. The slope of the initial mass
function, Gamma=-1.7+/-0.3, is in good agreement with other LMC
associations. The presence of several evolved supergiants with masses
about 15-25M_{sun}_ suggests that some star formation took place as early
as 10 million years ago, but the majority of stars formed coevally
within the past few million years.

Note (1): A colon, ":", indicates that the error in magnitude or color (i.e.
the weighted average of the photometric errors for that star as
calculated by DAOPHOT) is greater than two times the error listed
in Table 2 in the printed paper. Two colons, "::", indicate errors
greater than three times the typical value.
