Extragalactic Star-forming Regions: a Study of the Physical Properties and Chemical Abundances

Extragalactic star-forming regions are characterized by the large number of young and massive stars that ionize the surrounding gas. These regions can be observed as very luminous spots in the disk of spiral galaxies and as large areas in Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies. We present preliminary results...
