The abundance discrepancy problem in HII regions
Abstract
The origin of the abundance discrepancy in nebulae is one of the key problems in the physics of photoionized nebulae. In this work we have analized a sample of Galactic and extragalactic H II regions where the abundance discrepancy have been measured, and we discuss the two main scenarios proposed to explain such discrepancy: temperature fluctuations over the observed volume of the nebulae and chemically inhomogeneous inclusions.
