Abstract
We analyze parameters of the interstellar matter emission in star-forming complexes in the high metallicity galaxies NGC~628, NGC~2976, and NGC~3351, which have different morphological types. The relation between H emission and emission in CO and HI lines is considered along with the relation between H emission and dust emission in the infrared range (IR). The fluxes and surface brightnesses in the UV and IR correlate well with H emission. The HI emission also correlates well with H, while the correlation between the CO and H emission is much less prominent. The ratio of the fluxes at 8 and 24 m decreases with increasing H flux. This may be due to changes in the properties of the dust ensemble (a decrease in the mass fraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) or to changes in excitation conditions. Analysis of the kinematics of the CO lines shows that the CO flux grows with increasing velocity scatter when ~km/s. Preliminary evidence for the existence of star-forming complexes with higher values of is presented, and the increase in the velocity scatter is accompanied by a decrease in the CO line luminosity of the complex.
