Abstract:
Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) UV magnitudes in four bands, together
with optical B magnitudes, are presented for up to 314 early-type stars
located in a 9.7 x 9.7 arcmin field centered on R136. The magnitudes have
an rms uncertainty estimated at 0.10 mag from a comparison between the UIT
magnitudes and the IUE spectra. Spectral types and E(B-V) color excesses
are estimated. The mean color excesses following the two extinction curves
agree well with the predictions of the two-component extinction model of
Fitzpatrick and Savage (1984). However, the degree of nebular extinction
is found to vary systematically by large amounts over the 30 Dor field.
The minimum of nebular extinction in the central parts of the nebula
suggests that dust has been expelled from this region by stellar winds. It
is suggested that the form of the UV extinction curve can be understood as
a consequence of the evolutionary state of the stellar population
responsible for making the dust grains.
