Kinematics and star formation of the most luminous HII regions in nearby galaxies

The massive star clusters strongly influence the interstellar medium
surrounding them via the stellar winds and SN explosions. The
distribution of the gas, and with it the distribution of the dust
are affected by this phenomenology producing shells and filamentary
structures in the proximity where the stars form. We present a
combination of multi-wavelength data from the mid-IR to the UV to
study the distribution of the dust, gas and stars in star forming
regions of galaxies with different environments. We also show the
potential of two-dimensional Fabry-Perot spectroscopy to quantify
the energetic of the interaction of the stellar winds and SN with
the interstellar medium.
