These images of 30 Doradus are the first "deep" HST exposures that have appropriate photometric calibration. The B band (F439W) image, which shows R136a at the center of the PC6 CCD chip, reveals over 200 stars within 3" of the center of R136a, and over 800 stars in a 35"x35" area. We used Malumuth et al.'s [The First Year of HST Observations, edited by A. L. Kinney and J. C. Blades (ST ScI, Baltimore) (1991)] PSF-fitting method to measure the magnitudes of all stars on the PC6 chip. These new B magnitudes, along with U and V magnitudes from archival PC images, yield a luminosity function, mass density profile, and initial mass function of the 30 Doradus ionizing cluster. The mass distribution is well fit by a King model with a core radius, Rc=0.96" (0.24pc), a tidal radius, Rt=110" (28pc), and a total mass, M=16800M_{sun}_. Both the luminosity function and initial mass function show evidence for mass segregation, in the sense that the central region has a higher fraction of massive stars than the outer regions. This is the first observational evidence for mass segregation in a very young cluster (age ~3 million years). The observations admit the hypothesis that the mass segregation occurred in the process of star formation and/or that the mass segregation is the result of dynamical evolution.1994AJ....107.1054Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/107/1054CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/107/1054https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/107/1054http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/107/1054https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/107/1054https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/107/1054http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/107/1054GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/AJ/107/1054/table2 (30 Doradus photometry)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/107/1054/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/107/1054/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/AJ/107/1054/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true84.660625-69.10336110.0055555555555555566/33094https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/AJ/107/1054?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/AJ/107/1054/table230 Doradus photometryrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
