“…Using the double-beam spectrograph mounted on the ANU 2.3 m telescope, Kingsburgh & English (1992) ple of Galactic PNe and found that electron densities derived from the two ratios were in excellent agreement. On the other hand, a very different result was obtained by Meatheringham & Dopita (1991) Aller et al 1996;Feibelman et al 1994Feibelman et al , 1996Hyung 1994;Hyung & Aller 1995a,b, 1996, 1997a,b, 1998Hyung et al 1993Hyung et al , 1994aHyung et al ,b,c, 1995Hyung et al , 1997Hyung et al , 1999aHyung et al ,b, 2000Hyung et al , 2001Keyes et al 1990;Keenan et al 1993Keenan et al , 1996Keenan et al , 1997 they determined simultaneously electron densities and temperatures using a number of plasma diagnostic lines in the optical and ultraviolet and found that overall the data yielded compatible and consistent results. More recently, Copetti & Writzl (2002), using data published in the literature, compared the observed line ratios for a number of density-diagnostics, instead of densities deduced from them, thus avoiding discarding measurements that yield ratios close to or beyond the the low-or high-N e limits.…”
