Residuals from the O/H abundance gradient plotted against their R/R25. Each H II region is color-coded using its derived ratio of O+/O to trace ionization state. We identify two regions which are located at similar radius and have a similar ionization state but which have very different abundances with residuals on opposite sides of the spread. Spectral extractions, focused on the portion of the spectrum containing [O III] λ4363, for these two regions are shown to the right with data plotted in black and the modeled spectrum shown in blue. The red line indicates the measurement of the [O III] λ4363 required to fall on the O/H gradient.
