Using CCD observations in the narrow band filters in Hα, Hβ, [], [
], [
] and [
] lines
we have compiled a catalogue of 338 HII regions for the inner parts of NGC 5457 and 158 for NGC 4395. The
extinction, equivalent widths, distributions, excitations, ionization hardness, ionization parameters and metallicities for these regions, a distinction being made between arm and
inter-arm zones, are presented here with the first results of a
study of stellar formation.
Key words: HII regions / galaxies: individual: NGC 4395, NGC 5194 / galaxies: abundances
