Ne II Observations of Gas Motions in Compact and Ultracompact H II Regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present high spatial and spectral resolution observations of 16 Galactic compact and ultracompact H II regions in the [Ne II] 12.8 mu m fine-structure line.

H II regions with He II emission [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1991
H II regions which exhibit surprisingly strong nebular He II λ4686 emission, with I(λ4686)/I (Hβ) as high as 0.3 in some cases. The He II emission in-these objects is associated with a rather diverse set of stars, with WO stars, very early WN stars, and luminous X-ray binaries involved, and in one case what appears to be a normal O-type star.

Topology and Sizes of HII Regions during Cosmic Reionization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We use the results of large-scale simulations of reionization to explore methods for characterizing the topology and sizes of HII regions during reionization. We use four independent methods for characterizing the sizes of ionized regions.

Ultraviolet through far-infrared spatially resolved analysis of the recent star formation in M81 (NGC 3031) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The recent star formation (SF) in the early-type spiral galaxy M81 is characterized using imaging observations from the far-ultraviolet to the far-infrared. We compare these data with models of the stellar, gas, and dust emission for subgalactic regions.

Stellar associations powering H II regions

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Newly formed stars profoundly affect their environment by depositing energy and momentum into the surrounding gas. However, only a fraction of the stellar feedback is retained in the cloud, and observational constraints are needed to improve our ...

MMT observations of new extremely metal-poor emission-line galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

open access: yes, 2007
We present 6.5-meter MMT spectrophotometry of 20 H II regions in 13 extremely metal-poor emission-line galaxies selected from the Data Release 5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to have [O III] 4959/Hbeta < 1 and [N II] 6583/Hbeta < 0.05.

Massive Star Formation in the Ultraviolet Observed with the Hubble Space Telescope

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
Spectroscopic observations of a massive star formation in the ultraviolet and their interpretation are reviewed. After a brief historical retrospective, two well-studied resolved star clusters and the surrounding H II regions are introduced: NGC 2070 in ...

Electron Densities in H ii Regions from Observation of [N ii] 205 μm Fine Structure and Radio Recombination Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We employ observations of the 205 μ m [N ii ] fine structure (FS) line and radio recombination line (RRL) emission to derive the electron density in 10 well-known H ii regions. The combination of these two spectral lines (the RRL–FS line method) provides
