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.

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
