Abstract

Emission-line galaxies contain a large number of hot stars responsible for the emissive gas. They offer the opportunity of investigating the initial mass function of stars in regions of active star formation. So far, only integral properties of the ionizing complexes in giant H II regions or emission-line galaxies have been used (Lequeux et al., 1981) but no direct emission-line stellar feature has been thoroughly analyzed.
