Chlorine and Sulfur in Nearby Planetary Nebulae and H II Regions [PDF]
We derive the chlorine abundances in a sample of nearby planetary nebulae (PNe) and H II regions that have some of the best available spectra. We use a nearly homogeneous procedure to derive the abundance in each object and find that the Cl/H abundance ...

Structure and expansion law of H ii regions in structured molecular clouds [PDF]
We present radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations aimed at studying evolutionary properties of H ii regions in turbulent, magnetized, and collapsing molecular clouds formed by converging flows in the warm neutral medium.

The Stellar Content of Obscured Galactic Giant H II Regions: II. W42 [PDF]
We present near infrared J, H, and K images and K-band spectroscopy in the giant HII region W42. A massive star cluster is revealed; the color-color plot and K-band spectroscopic morphology of two of the brighter objects suggest the presence of young ...

THE WISE CATALOG OF GALACTIC H ii REGIONS [PDF]
Using data from the all-sky Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite, we made a catalog of over 8000 Galactic H ii regions and H ii region candidates by searching for their characteristic mid-infrared (MIR) morphology.

Carbon and oxygen in H II regions of the Magellanic Clouds: abundance discrepancy and chemical evolution [PDF]
We present C and O abundances in the Magellanic Clouds derived from deep spectra of HII regions. The data have been taken with the Ultraviolet-Visual Echelle Spectrograph at the 8.2-m VLT. The sample comprises 5 HII regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (

CHAOS I. DIRECT CHEMICAL ABUNDANCES FOR H II ?> REGIONS IN NGC 628 [PDF]
The CHemical Abundances of Spirals (CHAOS) project leverages the combined power of the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) with the broad spectral range and sensitivity of the Multi Object Double Spectrograph (MODS) to measure “direct” abundances (based on ...

Expansive components in H II regions
We study the presence of low intensity high velocity components, which we have termed wing features in the integrated Halpha emission line profiles of the HII region populations of the spiral barred galaxies NGC 1530, NGC 3359 and NGC 6951.

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

Ionization Profiles of Galactic H ii Regions [PDF]
Using Green Bank Telescope radio recombination line (RRL) data, we analyze the role of leaking radiation from H ii regions in maintaining the ionization of the interstellar medium (ISM).

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