Energy balance in two phase models for temperature fluctuations in HII regions
C. Giammanco, J. E. Beckman
Aims. The main objective of this article is to provide a simple physical framework with permits a quantitative comparison of measurements of the temperature fluctuations in the ion…
Temperature fluctuations in HII regions: ionization by Cosmic Rays as a key mechanism
C. Giammanco, J. E. Beckman
We present a detailed model capable of explaining quantitatively the temperature fluctuations observed in luminous, large HII regions. The model is based on two assumptions which w…
Effects of photon escape on diagnostic diagrams for HII regions
C. Giammanco, J. E. Beckman, B. Cedres
In this article we first outline the mounting evidence that a significant fraction of the ionizing photons emitted by OB stars within HII regions escape from their immediate surrou…
The internal dynamical equilibrium of HII regions: a statistical study
M. Relano, J. E. Beckman, A. Zurita +2
We present an analysis of the integrated Halpha emission line profiles for the HII region population of the spiral galaxies NGC 1530, NGC 6951 and NGC 3359. We show that 70% of the…
