TL;DR: The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is an airborne observatory consisting of a specially modified Boeing 747SP with a 2.7 m telescope, flying at altitudes as high as 13.7 km (45,000 ft) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the atomic constants (transition probabilities and collision cross sections), recalculation of some of the physical conditions in the H II regions (ne and Te), and the use of new photoionization models to determine stellar effective temperatures of the exciting stars were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Far-infrared lines from H II regions: Abundance variations in the galaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Cryogenic Grating Spectrometer on the Kuiper Airborne Observatory to examine variations in abundances throughout the Galaxy and concluded that these stellar atmospheres significantly underestimate the actual emergent fluxes for energies greater than 41 eV.
