Description
High-resolution maps of the spiral galaxies NGC 3992 and NGC 4321,
obtained with the Taurus camera at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope
are analyzed. The results obtained include (1) the total number of
separately identifiable H II regions in their disks (classified
according to their membership of a spiral arm or the interarm disk, (2)
the radial distribution of H II regions, (3) the frequency distribution
of diameters of H II regions, and (4) the luminosity function.
