Methodology -- For N II ORLs, the effective recombination coefficients covered a log Te range from 2.1 to 4.3 [K], with a 0.1 increment, and a log Ne range from 2 to 6 [cm-3], also with a 0.1 increment. For O II ORLs, the effective recombination coefficients covered a log Te range from 2.6 to 4.2 [K], with a 0.2 increment, and a log Ne range from 2 to 5 [cm-3], also with a 0.2 increment, and later bilinearly interpolated to a resolution of 0.05 [K] by 0.05 [cm-3]. The location of the minimum χ2 value corresponded to the optimal Te and Ne for each wavelength combination of the observed intensities. Fig. 1 shows the log χ2-distributions for 8 PNe and 1 H II region (Hf 2-2, M 1-42, NGC 6153, and M 2-36, NGC 7009, NGC 6543, IC 4191, M 3-32, and M 42), matching the archived data for each nebula against the theoretical predictions from each wavelength.
Once the optimal Te and Ne were located for each PN, the comparison was also calculated for each combination of simulated intensities within a 1-σ Gaussian distribution confined to the errors of the observed intensities. Fig. 2 shows the Gaussian-distributions for N II and O II wavelengths within 1-σ of the observed intensities. The optimal Te and Ne locations for each simulation would provide the error estimates of the optimal Te and Ne from the observed intensities. The randomly generated intensities were combined for each simulation and compared with the theoretical predictions based on the effective recombination coefficients for each wavelength covering a range of temperatures and densities. Fig. 3 shows the frequencies of the optimal Te and Ne locations derived from the simulated intensities.
Fig. 3: Frequencies of the optimal Te and Ne for N II (left 9 panels) and O II (right 9 panels). For each nebula, the top panel corresponds to the unique Ne locations, the right panel for the unique Te locations, and the central panel for the 2-dimensional frequency of both optimal Te and Ne locations. The white-solid contour represents the 1-σ confidence level of the optimal Te and Ne locations for the simulated intensities. The white cross-hairs pinpoint the observed Te and Ne values, as above. The light-green error bars represent the mean sigma values from the simulated intensities. The blue curve represents the Gaussian profile generated from the same mean values and standard deviations centered on the optimal Te and Ne locations obtained from observed intensities.

Results -- For all nebulae analyzed here, the mean value of log Te ([O III]) is 4.02 [K]. The mean value of log Te (H I BJ) is 3.95 [K]. The mean value of log Te (He I λ7281/λ6678) is 3.75 [K]. The mean value of log Te (O II) is 3.32 [K]. The mean value of log Te (N II) is 3.29 [K]. The mean value of log Ne (O II) is 4.07 [cm−3]. The mean value of log Ne (N II) is 3.14 [cm−3]. The relationship between the mean values of Te is indeed, T
e (ORLs) < T
e (He I) < T
e (H I BJ) < T
e (CELs), confirming the physical conditions in the
two-abundance model, showing that the PNe and H II regions contain a secondary cold, metal-rich and probably H-deficient component.

Abstract -- We carry out plasma diagnostic analysis for a number of planetary nebulae (PNe) and H II regions. We use N II and O II optical recombination lines (ORLs) with new effective recombination coefficients calculated under the intermediate coupling scheme, for a range of electron temperatures (Te) and densities (Ne), and fitted against the most reliable measurements. Comparing Te derived from ORLs, collisionally excited lines (CELs), the hydrogen Balmer Jump, and/or He I if available, we find the relation Te (ORLs) < Te (He I) < Te (H I BJ) < Te (CELs), confirming the physical conditions in the two-abundance model postulated by Liu et al. (2000), i.e. the nebula contains another cold, metal-rich and probably H-deficient component.

The white crosshairs pinpoint the optimal Te and Ne locations for the observed intensities of each nebula.
