Scientific paper

H166-alpha lines are reported from 12 extended, low-density H II regions in the local and Perseus spiral arms. The electron temperatures for such H II regions are in the range 4000-7000 K, and are on average 2000 K less than the electron temperatures of smaller, higher density objects. Electron temperatures of extended, low-density H II regions appear to vary with galactocentric distance. The H166-alpha lines observed in S171 (NGC 7822, W1) do not show evidence for a significant nonthermal component in the source.
