Galaxies: Abundances, H Ii Regions

Scientific paper

The existence of an extended component of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) is a
well-known property of spiral galaxies. The integrated ensuremath
{{H}alpha } luminosity of the DIG is very high (accounting for ~ 50% of
the total ensuremath {{H}alpha } emission in a galaxy), which makes it
important to understand the origin of this diffuse component.
