A comparative study of O, Ne, Cl, and Ar in Hii regions and PNe of the Galactic disk: Temporal evolution of radial gradients?

Alexia Amayo, Leticia Carigi, José Eduardo Méndez-Delgado +2

(Abridged) We compare the radial abundance gradients of O, Ne, Cl, and Ar using a sample of 42 HII regions and 176 planetary nebulae (PNe) from the DESIRED catalogue in the Galacti…

Alpha-element abundance patterns in star-forming regions of the local Universe

C. Esteban, J. E. Méndez-Delgado, J. García-Rojas +6

(Abridged) We reassess the alpha-element abundance ratios (Ne/O, S/O, Ar/O) with respect to metallicity in ~1000 spectra of Galactic and extragalactic HII regions and star-forming…

An ancient system hidden in the Galactic plane?

Federico Sestito, Emma Fernandez-Alvar, Rebecca Brooks +19

We analyse high signal-to-noise ESPaDOnS/CFHT spectra of 20 very metal-poor stars (VMP; [Fe/H]~) in the solar neighbourhood (within kpc), selected to be on planar or…

Gradients of chemical abundances in the Milky Way from HII regions: distances derived from Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and temperature inhomogeneities

J. E. Méndez-Delgado, A. Amayo, K. Z. Arellano-Córdova +4

We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of He, C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar in the Milky Way using the deep optical spectra of 42 HII regions presented in Arellan…

Ionization correction factors and dust depletion patterns in giant HII regions

A. Amayo, G. Delgado-Inglada, G. Stasinska

We provide new ionization correction factors (ICFs) for carbon, nitrogen, neon, sulfur, chlorine, and argon in giant H II regions. The ICFs were computed using the most representat…

Ionization correction factors for sodium, potassium, and calcium in planetary nebulae

Alexia Amayo, Gloria Delgado-Inglada, Jorge García-Rojas

We use a large grid of photoionization models that are representative of observed planetary nebulae (PNe) to derive ionization correction factors (ICFs) for sodium, potassium, and…
