Observed and predicted MIR line ratios for the two star-forming regions.

Ratio Central region Southern region
observed burst continuous observed burst

[Ne iii]/[Ne ii] 2.082 13.72 12.34 3.448 28.955
[S iv]/[S iii]18.7 0.481 0.479 0.477 1.227 1.044
[S iii]18.7/[S iii]33 0.630 0.593 0.601 0.835 0.846

Notes. The [Ne iii]/[Ne ii] and [S iv]/[S iii] line ratios are indicative of the radiation field strength, and the ratio of the two [S iii] lines is a density diagnostic.
