Abstract

Integrated photoelectric measurements of the equivalent width W_H\beta, the [OIII]/Hβ ratio and the Hβ emission line flux are presented for 31 southern hemisphere galactic HII regions. The Lyman continuum photon fluxes are obtained for some of these objects. The integrated [OIII]/Hβ ratios have not shown any statistically significant deviation from non-integrated measurements found in the literature.
