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...
We compute photoionization models for the giant extragalactic H II region NGC 2363, and compare them with optical observational data. We show that models...
We have compared direct estimates of the ionizing photon flux from the stars observed within the H II region NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud with its...
Photoionization of the Diffuse Interstellar Gas in Spirals by Lyman Photons Escaping from H II Regions
The existence of an extended component of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) is a well-known property of spiral galaxies. The integrated ensuremath {{H}alpha }...
