Ch3 band A data cube of the CHAOS H II region M33+46−380. The spectral map is plotted at the wavelength slice corresponding to the [Ne II]λ12.81 μm line center. In black, we plot the long slit aperture used to acquire the optical spectrum and measure Te and 12+log(O/H). We extract a 1D MIR spectrum (Figure 2) from an aperture matched to the optical observations, a necessary step to empirically calibrate the Ne23 diagnostic.
