A.2. Calculation of Continuum Emission
With RHII properly determined, the radio continuum emission which occurs due to the free-free emission from the ions and electrons can be calculated by using the formula (Spitzer 1978),
where, the coefficients of emission
and absorption
are given by,
The Gaunt factor (gff), is given by,
An electron temperature of 8000 K has been assumed for all calculations.
The radio continuum has been calculated at a frequency of 5 GHz.
