We have conducted a comprehensive, multiwavelength study of the interstellar/circumstellar environments of WR stars, using the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey images in the H{alpha}, [OIII], and [SII] lines; Spitzer Space Telescope 8 and 24{mu}m images; Blanco 4m Telescope H{alpha} CCD images; and Australian Telescope Compact Array + Parkes Telescope HI data cube of the LMC. We have also examined whether the WR stars are in OB associations, classified the HII environments of WR stars, and used this information to qualitatively assess the WR stars' evolutionary stages. The 30 Dor giant HII region has active star formation and hosts young massive clusters, thus we have made statistical analyses for 30 Dor and the rest of the LMC both separately and altogether. Due to the presence of massive young clusters, the WR population in 30 Dor is quite different from that from elsewhere in the LMC. We find small bubbles (&lt;50pc diameter) around ~12% of WR stars in the LMC, most of which are WN stars and not in OB associations. The scarcity of small WR bubbles is discussed. Spectroscopic analyses of abundances are needed to determine whether the small WR bubbles contain interstellar medium or circumstellar medium. Implications of the statistics of interstellar environments and OB associations around WR stars are discussed. Multiwavelength images of each LMC WR star are presented.</description><source format="bibcode">2021ApJS..252...21H</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/252/21</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/345">I/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/232">VII/232 : Nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds (Davies+ 1976)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/448/179">J/ApJ/448/179 : HST photometry in R136 (Hunter+ 1995)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/132/2268">J/AJ/132/2268 : SAGE calibration stars (Meixner+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/138/1003">J/AJ/138/1003 : IR photometry of massive LMC stars (Bonanos+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/565/A27">J/A+A/565/A27 : Wolf-Rayet stars in Large Magellanic Cloud (Hainich+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/585/A162">J/A+A/585/A162 : X-ray supernova remnants in LMC (Maggi+, 2016)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/863/181">J/ApJ/863/181 : The fifth catalog of LMC Wolf-Rayet stars (Neugent+, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/158/192">J/AJ/158/192 : He II emission from WR stars in MW &amp; LMC (Leitherer+, 2019)</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/252/21</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/252/21</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/252/21</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/252/21</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/252/21</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/252/21</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><capability xsi:type="cs:ConeSearch" standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/ConeSearch"><description>Cone search capability for table J/ApJS/252/21/table1 (LMC Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and their stellar and interstellar environments)</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/252/21/table1?</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/252/21/table1?</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/252/21/table1?</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface><maxSR>180.0</maxSR><maxRecords>50000</maxRecords><verbosity>true</verbosity><testQuery><ra>71.384375</ra><dec>-70.2530278</dec><sr>0.005555555555555556</sr></testQuery></capability><coverage><spatial>5/8269 8274 8278 8280 6/33051 33052 33053 33054 33075 33091 33094 33095 33100 33101 33102 33107 33126</spatial><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/252/21?format=ascii</footprint><waveband>Radio</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>J/ApJS/252/21/table1</name><description>LMC Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars and their stellar and interstellar environments</description><column><name>SimbadName</name><description>Simbad column added by the CDS</description><ucd>meta.id</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType" arraysize="18*">char</dataType></column><column><name>BAT99</name><description>ID from Breysacher+ (1999A&amp;AS..137..117B)</description><ucd>meta.id</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType" arraysize="3*">char</dataType></column><column><name>recno</name><description>Record number assigned by the VizieR team.
