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.
