Aims:We analyze the distribution of the interstellar matter in the environs of the H ii region Gum 31, excited by the open cluster NGC 3324, located in the...
The Filling Factor-Radius Relation for 58 H II Regions across the Disk of NGC 6946
Using the OSIRIS tunable narrowband imager on the 10.4 m GTC (La Palma), we have mapped the SAB(rs)cd galaxy NGC 6946 over a ~7.3 × 7.5 arcmin2 field in the...
The Galactic radial abundance gradients of C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar from deep spectra of H II regions
We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in the Milky Way using deep spectra of 33 H II regions gathered from...
The galactic wind in the circum-nuclear zone of NGC 6946
Using the H-II region H-alpha emission detected in high-resolution long slit spectra of the normal spiral NGC 6946 out to 6 kpc from the center, and along 8...
The Galaxy-wide Distributions of Mean Electron Density in the H II Regions of M51 and NGC 4449
Using Advanced Camera for Surveys-Hubble Space Telescope images to yield continuum-subtracted photometric maps in Hα of the Sbc galaxy M51 and the dwarf...
This paper presents the results of the authors' study on the giant (radius = 60 pc) extragalactic H II region Hubble III in NGC 6822. Based on the observational...
The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), a 10 meter segmented-mirror telescope, now at an advanced stage of construction on La Palma (Spain), will shortly be...
The HII regions of M51 and NGC 4449. Behavior of the mean electron density
With ACS-HST images we produced continuum subtracted photometric maps in Hα for the galaxies M51 and NGC 4449. From the Hα luminosity (L), equivalent radius (R)...
