Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

Comment on J0513-2159 . Our image shows an extension to about 5 mas SE from the brightest feature. The EVN 8 GHz image by Dallacasa et al. (1998), with about five times larger resolution, shows an extension from the brightest feature roughly opposite to our direction. As noted by Dallacasa et al. (1998), the structure detected has a highly inverted spectrum, which, together with the reported variability in the source, could explain the structural disagreement. ...
