Chemical Abundances and Physical Parameters of HII Regions in the Magellanic Clouds

Meléndez, J.; Steiner, J.; Carlos Reyes, R. E. +2 more

We used ultraviolet, optical and infrared data of eleven HII regions in the Magellanic Clouds in order to determine their physical parameters and chemical abundances. The photoionization modeling of six HII regions in the LMC and five HII regions in the SMC, allowed us to derive the abundances of He, C, N, O, Ne, S and Ar, which were compared with…
