Abstract

We have calculated for extragalactic Hii regions, the expected relationship between the radio flux at 11 cm and the infrared flux at 11 and 20 μm based on the grain models and the parameters which fit the observations of galactic Hii regions. It is shown that the measured infrared fluxes of extragalactic Hii regions are consistent with the expected infrared fluxes for these objects.
