The kinematical properties of superbubbles and H ii regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud derived from the 3D Hα Survey

International audience; We report the results of a kinematical H alpha survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) presented in the form of a kinematical and photometric catalogue of 210 H ii regions. The observations have been obtained with a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer that produced data cubes corresponding to 66 different pointings over this galaxy, each with a field of view of 38 arcmin, covering almost the whole extent of the LMC. We find a bimodal distribution of the H alpha luminosity of LMC H ii regions. We also derive the local star formation and star formation rate (SFR) per unit area of the nebulae, concluding that star formation in the LMC has proceeded until the present time at an average rate of roughly 0.11 M-aS (TM) yr(-1). Also, we do not find any correlation between the SFR or I (SFR) pound with Delta V (full width at half-maximum for a single Gaussian profile and the difference in velocities for multiple-components velocity profiles), the diameter, the distance to the kinematical centre of the LMC and age of the nebulae. Over most of the LMC Delta V appears to be of the order of 30 km s(-1). However, in a few regions the Delta V of the velocity profiles is as large as 50-100 kms(-1), corresponding to identified supernova remnants and superbubbles undergoing expansion motions.
