The thin layer of Warm Ionized Gas: towards a 3-D reconstruction of the spatial distribution of HII regions

Abstract
HII regions are known to contribute to the so-called thin layer of the diffuse Warm Ionized Gas. In order to constrain this contribution, we reconstruct the 3-D distribution of the sources. A detailed spatial analysis of the largest up-to-date sample of HII regions is presented.
