The stellar population and the evolutionary state of HII regions and starburst galaxies
Rosa M. Gonzalez Delgado
Abstract
RHII and starbursts are both powered by massive stars. They are the main contributors to the heating of the ISM via radiative and mechanical energy. Techniques to derive the stellar content and the evolutionary state of RHIIs and starbursts from their ultraviolet and optical integrated light are reviewed. A prototypical RHII (NGC 604) and nuclear starburst (NGC 7714) are discussed in more detail. The results reveal the necessity of multiwavelength analyses of these objects to estimate their stellar content and their evolutionary state in a consistent way.
