Relevant quantities to estimate the number of ionizing photons Q0 for regions A and B.

Region A Region B Equation

F(Hα) (2.25 ± 0.01) × 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2 (3.79 ± 0.01) × 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2
Hα/Hβobs 5.35 ± 0.005 3.73 ± 0.004
E(BV) 0.59 ± 0.23 0.25 ± 0.09
A Hα 1.48 ± 0.58 0.62 ± 0.16 AHα = (2.51 ± 0.136) × E(BV)
Lobs(Hα) 3.37 × 1036 erg s-1 5.68 × 1036 erg s-1 Lobs(Hα) = F(Hα)4πd2
Lintr(Hα) 1.32 × 1037 erg s-1 1 × 1037 erg s-1 Lint(Hα) = Lobs(Hα)100.4AHα
Q 0 9.6 × 1048 s-1 7.3 × 1048 s-1 Q0 = 7.33 × 1011Lintr(Hα)

Notes. The last column reports the equation used in the case of extracted quantities. The distance in the calculation of the observed Hα luminosity Lobs(Hα) is assumed to be d = 3.8 Mpc.
