Abstract

The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope was used to map the continuum radiation of M33 at 1415 MHz. Of 67 radio sources with fluxes S> 1.8 mJy (3σ), 60% coincide with Hα sources. These are all intrinsically stronger than 4 × the Orion nebula, i.e., they are giant Hiiregions. The two strongest sources, NGC 604 (58 mJy) and NGC 595 (20 mJy), are similar to W51.
