Abstract
We have obtained near-infrared images and mid-infrared spectra of the starburst core of the dwarf Wolf-Rayet galaxy He 2-10. We find that the infrared continuum and emission lines are concentrated in a flattened ellipse 3-4'' or 150 pc across which may show where a recent accretion event has triggered intense star formation. The ionizing radiation from this cluster has an effective temperature of 40,000 K, corresponding to $30M_\odot$ stars, and the starburst is $0.5-1.5 \times 10^7$ years old.Comment: 17 pages Latex, 7 postscript figures, 1 postscript table, accepted to A
