On the ionizing populations in GEHRs: unveiling integrated properties from the analysis of the Wolf-Rayet population
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
In recent years, the detection of Wolf-Rayet stars in Giant Extragalactic H ii Regions (GEHRs) has yielded several questions about our current understanding of massive stars evolution and hot expanding atmospheres, the age of the ionizing populations and their impact onto the physical properties of GEHRs. Here, we present spectrophotometric observations of four extragalactic GEHRs which show WR features in their spectra. Our goal is to reproduce simultaneously the observed WR properties and the emission-line spectra with the help of current evolutionary synthesis models.
