Notes. The first 6 rows summarise the temperatures used in each recipe. The following rows give the ionic abundance obtained from the emission line given in the corresponding first column. (a)Te([N II]) for ions with IP < 17 eV / Te([S III]) for ions with IP > 17 eV. (b)“Ion” meaning that for computing the emissivity of H I we adopt the same physical conditions than for the corresponding ion; “PJ” is the Te computed from the Paschen jump. (c)For the warm (w) and cold (c) regions. See Sec. 5.3.
