Scientific paper

We present new photoelectric observations of the [S II] line intensities in the nuclei of M51 and M81. It is shown that the [S II]/[O I] line intensity ratios are very similar in objects where the [O I]/[O III] line intensity ratios differ by as much as three orders of magnitude; these objects comprise normal H II regions, nuclei of galaxies and a supernova remnant. This result strongly suggests that the [O I] and [S II] lines originate in the same regions. It is shown that in the regions where the [O I] and [S II] lines originate a considerable fraction of the oxygen is ionized.
