Two-dimensional high spatial resoultion Fabry-Perot observations with TAURUS 2 at the William Herschel Telescope in La Palma, over the inner central regions of...
On the α-Element Abundance Gradients in the Disk of the Sculptor Spiral Galaxy NGC 300
We have carried out a detailed spectral analysis of six early B-type supergiants in the Sculptor Group spiral galaxy NGC 300. To this end, we used state-of-the...
Optical and infrared observations of the H II region S201
Optical spectroscopy, H-alpha interferometry, and near-IR mapping and photometry of the bipolar H II region S201 are reported. The observations are used to...
Optical Recombination Lines of Heavy Elements in Giant Extragalactic H II Regions
We present high-resolution observations of the giant extragalactic H II regions NGC 604, NGC 2363, NGC 5461, and NGC 5471, based on observations taken with the...
Optical spectroscopy and near-infrared mapping of S 106
The bipolar outflow region S 106 is studied with optical spectroscopy and IR mapping techniques. The physical conditions in the ionized region, the density...
Oxygen abundance in M101 HII regions (Cedres+, 2004)
We present the oxygen abundance determination for 90 HII regions in the inner parts of the grand design galaxy M101. The abundances were derived employing the P...
Photoionization Models of Metal-poor Extragalactic H 0 Regions and the Primordial Helium Abundance
We discuss the effects of collisional enhancement of Balmer lines on the determination of the primordial helium abundance. To this aim, we present a...
Photoionization Models of NGC 2363 and Their Implications for the Ionizing Star Cluster
Using the photoionization code CLOUDY, we compute photoionization models for the giant extragalactic H II region NGC 2363 and compare them with optical...
