Comparison between the oxygen abundances derived with the T_e method using observed and HOMERUN model line fluxes from the selected HII regions from the sample of Zurita et al. (2021). In the left panel, we consider, for all sources, all the models with ℒ < ℒ_min + 0.25; the vertical dashed line represents the median of the distribution. In the right panel, we consider only the models with ℒ = ℒ_min.
