Abstract

We present a study of two complexes of HII regions in the main galaxy of minor merger AM 2306-721. The observations were obtained with the GMOS-IFU on the Gemini South telescope. By using different discrimination criteria, we determined that shock-ionized gas fraction ranges between 0% and 35%, which are in good agreement with numerical models. Thus, we conclude that almost all the mechanical energy from stellar winds and supernovae is being irradiated.
