Query: Confronting the Superbubble Model with X-ray Observations of 30 Dor C   We present an analysis of XMM-Newton observations of the superbubble 30 Dor C
and compare the results with the predictions from the standard wind-blown
bubble model. We find that the observed X-ray spectra cannot be fitted
satisfactorily with the model alone and that there is evidence for nonthermal
X-ray emission, which is particularly important at > 4 keV. The total
unabsorbed 0.1-10 keV luminosities of the eastern and western parts of the
bubble are ~3 10^36 erg/s and ~5 10^36 erg/s, respectively. The unabsorbed
0.1-10 keV luminosity of the bubble model is 4 10^36 erg/s and so the power-law
component contributes between 1/3 and 1/2 to the total unabsorbed luminosity in
this energy band. The nature of the hard nonthermal emission is not clear,
although recent supernovae in the bubble may be responsible. We expect that
about one or two core-collapse supernovae could have occured and are required
to explain the enrichment of the hot gas, as evidenced by the overabundance of
alpha-elements by a factor of 3, compared to the mean value of 0.5 solar for
the interstellar medium in the Large Magellanic Cloud. As in previous studies
of various superbubbles, the amount of energy currently present in 30 Dor C is
significantly less than the expected energy input from the enclosed massive
stars over their lifetime. We speculate that a substantial fraction of the
input energy may be radiated in far-infrared by dust grains, which are mixed
with the hot gas because of the thermal conduction and/or dynamic mixing.
