(abridged) Quantifying the ISM porosity to ionizing photons in nearby galaxies may improve our understanding of the mechanisms leading to Lyman Continuum photons leakage from galaxies. Primitive galaxies with low metal and dust content have…

The internal dust attenuation of the Hii region reduces the observed emission-line fluxes. Turbulent density fields within each Hii region change the degree of the line-of-the-sight obscuration of the emission-line fluxes. In this paper, we…
