As Fig. 8, but here the distances between the ionizing stars are similar to the extent of the H ii regions. The images show the expansion and the partial merging of the ionized volumes around these stars. The hotter (35 000 K) stars are recognized by the high temperature regions of the gas and those regions where O iii is the dominant ionization stage of oxygen.
