The thin layer of Warm Ionized Gas: towards a 3-D reconstruction of the spatial distribution of HII regions
Abstract
HII regions are known to contribute to the so-called thin layer of the diffuse Warm Ionized Gas. In order to constrain thiscontribution, we reconstruct the 3-D distribution of the sources.A detailed spatial analysis of the largest up-to-date sample of HIIregions is presented.
