Abstract:

Two very young clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), NGC 2098 ans SL 666, were selected for the search for mass segregation. Here we present te first results for NGC 2098. The analysis is still in progress and details will be published elsewhere. The present data confirm that the brightest main sequence stars of NGC 2098 are concentrated in the central 1.5 arcmin. The question now arises whether the cluster itself is indeed extended beyond 1.5 arcmin. Extensive star counts are now being performed in all directions and at large radii around NGC 2098 to help settle this question.
