Abstract

The analysis of McCall et al. (1985) data for 99 H II regions in galaxies of different metallicities allow to obtain a Zero Age Sequence (ZAS) in the WHβ vs O/H diagram, for the process of H II regions formation as well as limits for the Upper Mass Limit (μ) and and slope (x) of the IMF. CCD observations of H II regions in NGC 2442 are discussed taking into account the influence of evolution when a large sample of objects are analyzed. For that particular case the gradient is not substantially altered, while the central metallicity is.
