Oxygen and helium abundances in galactic h II regions: abundance gradients

Absolute integrated uxes have been obtained for 34 H II regions, with Galactocentricdistances RG in the 6.6{17.7 kpc range, in the emission lines [O II] 3726and 3729, [O III] 4363 and 5007, He I 5876, H and H. These uxes are analyzedto derive the physical parameters, the ionic abundances O+/H+, O++/...

Descripción
Sumario:Absolute integrated uxes have been obtained for 34 H II regions, with Galactocentricdistances RG in the 6.6{17.7 kpc range, in the emission lines [O II] 3726and 3729, [O III] 4363 and 5007, He I 5876, H and H. These uxes are analyzedto derive the physical parameters, the ionic abundances O+/H+, O++/H+and He+/H+ and the O/H abundances. Accurate electron temperatures have beenderived in six H II regions with RG between 6.6 kpc and 14.8 kpc, widening theRG range for which reliable Te measurements exist. Our O/H relationship for5 kpc < RG < 15 kpc is 12 + logO=H = (
