Description
We present two selected photoionization models of the extragalactic H ii region NGC 2363, and compare them with three sets of observational data. We discuss the effect of adopting different input parameters. We show that the metallicity of NGC 2363 has most probably been underestimated, and that a value of Z ~= .25 Z_odot is in good agreement with the observational data.
