AggieSTAAR: Introduction to HII Regions
This talk was given as part of a weekly lunch talk for the undergraduates in the Aggie Scholarships for Technology Advancements in Astronomical Research (AggieSTAAR) program. In it, I gave an overview of the atomic physics of HII regions and how we use that to study, in particular, the abundances of HII regions. Some information about the SIGNALS collaboration was given as an application.
