Notes.

(a)

The Vsys is either the radio-recombination line (Anderson et al. 2011; Caswell & Haynes 1987) or the Hα velocity. Column 5 gives the mean spectral index. The spectral index calculated between 8.35 GHz and 14.35 GHz by Langston et al. (2000) is given into parenthesis. Column 6 gives the other region’s name and/or the galactic coordinates of the optical counterpart of the radio region. Column 11 gives 8 μm notes for optical H ii regions only.

(b)

The regions G353.13+0.65, G353.10+0.60 and G353.09+0.66 are compact radio sources on the border of the larger and optically visible region G353.08+0.63.

(c)

This region exhibits a spectral index varying from 1 to +1 from place to place.

(d)

Radio sources not identified on radio maps but taken from Anderson et al. (2011).

(e)

G350.50+0.95 is a compact radio source located inside GM1-24 which is the more extended Hα emission. The spectral index is negative towards the compact radio source but positive in the more diffuse part of the region.

(f)

These regions are seen in Hα but they have not been observed with the Fabry-Perot interferometer.

(h)
