Reynolds Layers in Nearby Galaxies: The Face-On View
We present observational evidence, from Hαin face-on galaxies, which strongly favours the hypothesis that escaping photons from H II regions are the basic cause of the ionization of the diffuse ionized gas in galaxy discs, and by implication are the chief cause of the Reynolds layer in the Milky Way, and refer the reader to models based on these
