We suggest an empirical calibration for determination of oxygen and nitrogen abundances and electron temperature in HII regions where the [OII]3727+3729 line (R_2) is not available. The calibration is based on the strong emission lines of…
The problem of the line intensities -- oxygen abundance calibration has been considered. We confirm the idea of McGaugh (1991) that the strong oxygen lines ([OII] 3727, 3729 and [OIII] 4959, 5007) contain the necessary information for…
We use a sample of 536 \hii\ regions located in nearby spirals, with an homogeneous determination of their $T_e$-based abundances, to obtain new empirical calibrations of the N2O2, N2S2, O3N2, and N2 strong-line indices to estimate the…
The discrepancy between the oxygen abundances in high-metallicity HII regions determined through the Te-method (and/or through the corresponding "strong lines - oxygen abundance" calibration) and that determined through the model fitting…
The HII region oxygen abundance is a key observable for studying chemical properties of galaxies. Deriving oxygen abundances using optical spectra often relies on empirical strong-line calibrations calibrated to the direct method. Existing…
This is our second paper devoted to the problem of line intensity - oxygen abundance calibration starting from the idea of McGaugh (1991) that the strong oxygen lines contain the necessary information to determine accurate abundances in HII…
To calibrate the relationship between Ne3O2 (Ne3O2 = log(\neiii$\lambda3869$/\oii$\lambda3727$)) and oxygen abundances, we present a sample of $\sim$3000 $\hii$ galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data release four. They are…
Using a large sample of 38,478 star-forming galaxies selected from the Second Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database (SDSS-DR2), we derive analytical calibrations for oxygen abundances from several metallicity-sensitive…
The analysis of metal-rich HII regions has a profound impact on the calibration of abundance diagnostics widely used to measure the chemical content of star-forming galaxies, both locally and at high redshift. I review the main difficulties…
We determine the gas-phase oxygen abundance for a sample of 695 galaxies and H II regions with reliable detections of [O III]4363, using the temperature-sensitive Te method. Our aims are to estimate the validity of empirical methods such as…
We investigate two chemical abundance calibrations for the narrow-line-region (NLR) of active galaxies in terms of three easily observable optical emission-line ratios, namely, [OIII]$\lambda\lambda$4959,5007/H$\beta$,…
We present long slit spectrophotometry of two HII regions: TOL2146-391 and TOL0357-3915. We performed a detailed analysis that involves abundance determinations relaxing the assumption of homogeneous temperature. The temperature…
We present the most comprehensive set of empirical optical strong-line metallicity calibrations to date, based on the DEep Spectra of Ionised REgions Database (DESIRED), the largest compilation of HII regions and galaxies with direct…
Based on O II recombination lines we present a new calibration (called O II[RL]) of Pagel's O23 indicator to determine the O/H abundance ratio in extragalactic H II regions and emission line galaxies. The O II(RL) calibration produces O/H…
Using a sample of 28 HII regions from the literature with measured temperature inhomogeneity parameter, t^2, we present a statistical correction to the chemical abundances determined with the Te(4363/5007) method. We used the t^2 values to…
We have used a combination of stellar population synthesis and photoionization models to develop a set of ionization parameter and abundance diagnostics based only on the use of the strong optical emission lines. These models are applicable…
The use of IFS is since recently allowing to measure the emission line fluxes of an increasingly large number of star-forming galaxies both locally and at high redshift. The main goal of this study is to review the most widely used…
We suggest a new way to establish the relation between the electron temperature t3 within the [OIII] zone and the electron temperature t2 within the [OII] zone in high-metallicity (12+log(O/H) > 8.25) HII regions. The t2 - t3 diagram is…
We derived a bi-dimensional calibration between the emission line ratios R23=([O II]3726+3729+[O II]4959+5007)/Hb, P=[([O II]4959+5007)/Hb]/R23 and the oxygen abundance relative to hydrogen (O/H) in the gas phase of Seyferts 1 and 2 nuclei.…
The compilation of published spectra of Galactic HII regions with available diagnostic [OIII]4363 line has been carried out. Our list contains 71 individual measurements of 13 HII regions in the range of galactocentric distances from 6.6 to…
