Aims. The giant H ii region 30 Doradus (30 Dor) located in the eastern part of the Large Magellanic Cloud is one of the most active star-forming regions in the Local Group. Studies of H i data have revealed two large gas structures which must have collided with each other in the region around 30 Dor. In X-rays there is extended emission (∼ 1 kpc) south of 30 Dor called the X-ray spur, which appears to be anticorrelated with the H i gas. We study the properties of the hot interstellar medium…
