Propagation of ionizing radiation in H II regions: The effects of optically thick density fluctuations
The accepted explanation of the observed dichotomy of two orders of magnitude between in situ measurements of electron density in H II regions, derived from emission line ratios, and average measurements based on integrated emission measure, is the inhomogeneity of the ionized medium. This is expressed as a ``filling factor", the volume ratio of
