| Abstract: |
We present results from the application of a new seeing deconvolution technique to images of the dense core of NGC 2070 = 30 Doradus (the controversial object R136a). We utilize a new maximum entropy algorithm capable of restoring images to very high resolution, even to subpixel accuracy. Images of the object in different colors, as well as comparisons with previous speckle results, have been used to check the validity of the results. Our images of R136 have an angular resolution approaching 0.2 arcsec, better than any direct images of this object published to date, and corroborate evidence that R136a is a dense star cluster core, rather than a single ultraluminous object. |
