| Abstract: |
The N66 nebula in the SMC is associated with NGC346, the brightest, most magnificent and iconic star-forming region in the metal-poor and CO-underluminous Small Magellanic Cloud. More than half the entire SMC O-star population and 6% of the current-era starformation is located in this small ∼ 80 pc region. The little research undertaken towards N66 focuses on only measurements of the CO and continuum surface-brightness, without a detailed kinematic and energetic emphasis. We explore these aspects here, and discuss a candidate formation scenario for this astonishing, and entirely enigmatic structure in the SMC. |
