Scientific paper

Optical spectra, supplemented by some observations of radio recombination lines, have been used to estimate the abundances of helium, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and argon in 18 H II regions in the outer Galaxy. Assuming that R0 (the distance from the center of the Galaxy to the sun) is 8.5 kpc, these H II regions are located between 11.5 and 17.9 kpc from the Galactic center and include many of the most distant (from the center) H II regions known in our Galaxy. The single most striking result of these observations is the apparent high nitrogen abundances in the H II regions at the outer edge of the visible disk of the Galaxy.
