Notes. Integrated line fluxes in units of 10-17   erg   s-1   cm-2. For A2 are listed the total fluxes, Ftot, and the individual fluxes corresponding to the decomposition of the line profiles into two Gaussian components associated with the main galaxy, Fmain, and a star-forming blob, Fblob, as described in Sect. 3.3.

(a)

Vacuum (laboratory) rest-frame wavelengths.

(b)

Inferred Hβ line fluxes from the Hγ line flux and the E(B − V)gas color excess derived from the Hα/Hγ Balmer decrement (Sect. 4.2).

(c)

Intrinsic Hα line fluxes after correcting for dust extinction by E(B − V)gas values derived from the Hα/Hγ Balmer decrement (Sect. 4.2).
