A calibrated Hα flux map of M33: HII region luminosity function, and recombination emission from the warm ionised medium
We have used a flux-calibrated mosaiced CCD image of M33 in Hα emission to produce a catalogue of the positions and Hα luminosities of 9190 HII regions complete down to a limiting luminosity LHα of 1036 erg/s and constructed a luminosity function (LF) from this catalogue. In contrast to previously published M33 LFs we find the slope of the function
