We have obtained spectroscopic observations of the nebulae around seven Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, four in the Milky Way (WR 8, 16, 18 and 40) and three in the LMC (BAT99-2, -11 and -38). They were observed using the ESO NTT with the EFOSC-2…

We measure the gas-phase abundances of the elements He, N, O, Ne, S, Ar, and Fe in an individual H\textsc{ii} region known to be leaking Lyman-continuum photons in the Sunburst Arc, a highly magnified galaxy at redshift $z=2.37$. We detect…

The dispersion in chemical abundances provides a very strong constraint on the processes that drive the chemical enrichment of galaxies. Due to its proximity, the spiral galaxy M33 has been the focus of numerous chemical abundance surveys…

Spectroscopic observations of 48 emission-line objects of M33 have been obtained with the multi-object, wide field, fibre spectrograph AF2/WYFFOS at the 4.2m WHT telescope (La Palma, Spain). Line intensities and logarithmic extinction,…

We present 6.5-meter MMT spectrophotometry of 20 H II regions in 13 extremely metal-poor emission-line galaxies selected from the Data Release 5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to have [O III] 4959/Hbeta < 1 and [N II] 6583/Hbeta < 0.05.…

This paper presents a spectroscopic investigation of 11 HII regions in the nearby galaxy NGC 2403. The HII regions are observed with a long-slit spectrograph mounted on the 2.16 m telescope at XingLong station of National Astronomical…

For the first time, neon abundance has been derived in the narrow line region from a sample of Seyfert~2 nuclei. In view of this, we compiled from the literature fluxes of optical and infrared (IR) narrow emission lines for 35 Seyfert 2…

We present preliminary results of the O, Ne, S and Cl abundance gradients of the Milky Way. We analyze in a homogenous way the physical conditions and chemical abundances of a sample of 35 H II regions with deep spectra observed mainly with…

We present a reassessment of the radial abundance gradients of C, N, O, Ne, S, Cl and Ar in the Milky Way using deep spectra of 33 H II regions gathered from the literature, covering Galactocentric distances from 6 to 17 kpc. The distances…

We report on neon abundances derived from {\it Spitzer} high resolution spectral data of eight Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars using the forbidden line of [\ion{Ne}{3}] 15.56 microns. Our targets include four WN stars of subtypes 4--7, and four WC…

We present deep optical spectroscopy of eight HII regions located in the anticentre of the Milky Way. The spectra were obtained at the 10.4m GTC and 8.2m VLT. We determined Te([NII]) for all objects and Te([OIII]) for six of them. We also…

New optical spectra of 28 H II regions in the M101 disk have been obtained, yielding 10 new detections of the [O III]{\lambda}4363 auroral line. The oxygen abundance gradient measured from these data, combined with previous observations,…

The SMC harbours a class of hot nitrogen-sequence Wolf-Rayet stars (WNE) that display only relatively weak broad emission lines. This indicates low mass-loss rates and makes them also hard to detect. However, such stars are possible…

We use near-IR grism spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope to examine the strength of [Ne~III] 3869 relative to H-beta, [O~II] 3727 and [O~III] 5007 in 236 low mass (7.5 < log (Mstar/Msolar) < 10.5) star-forming galaxies in the…

We use integral field spectroscopic (IFS) observations from Gemini North Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS-N) of a group of four H II regions and the surrounding gas in the central region of the blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy NGC 4670. At…

We present spectroscopic observations of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) in M33 near the HII region NGC 604. We present the first detection of [OI] 6300 in the DIG of M33, one of the critical lines for distinguishing photo- from shock ionization…

We have obtained deep spectra of 26 planetary nebulae (PNe) and 9 compact HII regions in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 300, and analyzed them together with those of the giant HII regions previously observed. We have determined the physical…

We determine the radial abundance gradient of helium in the disc of the Galaxy from published spectra of 19 $\text{H}\thinspace \text{II}$ regions and ring nebulae surrounding massive O stars. We revise the Galactocentric distances of the…

We present echelle spectrophotometry of the Galactic H II region NGC 3576. The data have been taken with the VLT UVES echelle spectrograph in the 3100 to 10400 angstroms range. We have measured the intensities of 458 emission lines, 344 are…

We have obtained spectrophotometric observations of 41 anticenter planetary nebulae (PNe) located in the disk of the Milky Way. Electron temperatures and densities, as well as chemical abundances for He, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, and Ar were…
