A new determination of the galactic electron temperature gradient for extended and low density ionized gas.
Abstract
By using electron temperature values derived from H166α recombination line and 1.4 GHz continuum observations of 19 H II regions, together with those given by Pedlar (1980) from H166α observations of low-density H II regions (with similar antenna beam) and a value of electron temperature given by Pedlar et al. (1978), a new determination of a galactic electron temperature gradient with the galactocentric distance is obtained for the low-density ionized gas.
