Scientific paper

An optical and radio study of NGC 2363, a very large H II region complex in the dwarf galaxy NGC 2366, is reported. The emission-line spectrum of NGC 2363 is unusual in its extremely high degree of excitation and very low amount of reddening. It indicates a very low metal abundance, but also suggests an unusually energetic source of ionization. The unusual spectrum and huge size of the H II region is very reminiscent of the more distant narrow-lined Markarian galaxies and the 'isolated extragalactic H II regions'.
