An HI interstellar bubble surrounding WR85 and RCW118
  We analyze the distribution of the interstellar matter in the environs of the Wolf-Rayet star LSS3982 (= WR85, WN6+OB?) linked to the optical ring nebula RCW118. Our study is based on neutral hydrogen 21cm-line data belonging to the Southern Galactic Plane Survey (SGPS).   The analysis of the HI data allowed the identification of a neutral hydrogen interstellar bubble related to WR 85 and the 25' diameter ring nebula RCW118. The HI bubble was detected at a systemic velocity of -21.5 km/s, corresponding to a kinematical distance of 2.8+/-1.1 kpc, compatible with the stellar distance. The neutral stucture is about 25' in radius or 21+/-8 pc, and is expanding at 9+/-2 km/s. The associated ionized and neutral masses amount to 3000 Mo. The CO emission distribution depicts a region lacking CO coincident in position and velocity with the HI structure. The 9'.3 diameter inner optical nebula appears to be related to the approaching part of the neutral atomic shell. The HI void and shell are the neutral gas counterparts of the optical bubble and have very probably originated in the action of the strong stellar wind of the central star during the O-type and WR phases on the surrounding interstellar medium. The HI bubble appears to be in the momentun conserving stage.
