30 Doradus - a Template for "Real Starbursts"?

30 Doradus is the closest massive star forming region and the best studied template of a starburst. In this conference paper we first summarize the properties of 30 Doradus and its stellar core, R136. We discuss the effects of insufficient spatial resolution and cluster density profiles on dynamical mass estimates of super star clusters, and show that their masses can be easily overestimated by a factor of ten or more. From a very simple model, with R136-like clusters as representative building blocks, we estimate typical luminosities of the order 10^11 L_o for starburst galaxies.Comment: To be published in "Starbursts: From 30 Doradus to Lyman Break Galaxies", eds.
