Abstract

Measuring the local density of the ionized gas, we study the internal structure of giant HII regions in the galaxies NGC 6822 and M 33. The data shows density gradients in restricted areas within the objects, a result that should be taken into consideration in the estimation of the chemical abundances of gaseous nebulae. The results will allow to separate different models of radial gas distribution within the objects.
