Description
We compute photoionization models for the giant extragalactic H II region NGC 5461, and compare their predictions to several observational constraints. The models are constrained to reproduce the observed density profile, and our analysis takes into consideration the bias introduced by the shapes and sizes of the slits used by different observers.
