Observations of interstellar C IV toward six stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud are described. These data were obtained with the GHRS on HST and with IUE. They provide the first unambiguous evidence that C+3 exists in the Large Magellanic Cloud away from regions where it could have been produced locally, as the six stars are of spectral type later than 08, as well as away from hot early-type stars or active regions. Significant differences between the velocities of the C+3 absorption and those of Hα emission near the stars shows that these ions are not co-spatial, implying that the C+3 originates in the halo of the LMC. It is shown that photo-ionization is unlikely to be the sole source of the C+3 and that the LMC halo thus contains hot gas.

A vast amount of observational data concerning the structure and kinematics of the Magellanic Clouds is now available. Many basic quantities (e.g. distances and geometry) are, however, not yet sufficiently well determined. Interactions between the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and our Galaxy have dominated the evolution of the Clouds, causing bursts of star formation which, together with stochastic self-propagating star formation, produced the observed structures. In the youngest generation in the LMC it is seen as an intricate pattern imitating a fragmented spiral structure. In the SMC much of the fragmentation is along the line of sight complicating the reconstruction of its history. The violent events in the past are also recognizable in complex velocity patterns which make the analysis of the kinematics of the Clouds difficult.
