Abstract

The Australia Telescope Compact Array has been used for observations, with arcsecond resolution, of the HII region N159 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Images at 5 GHz reveal a second compact continuum component which has no obvious counterpart at optical and infrared wavelengths. Observations of HI 10α recombination-line emission, and HI and H2CO absorption, suggest that the object is a compact HII region embedded in a dense obscuring cloud on the edge of N159.
