title = "Photoionization of the diffuse interstellar gas in spirals by Lyman photons escaping from H II regions",
abstract = "The existence of an extended component of diffuse ionized gas (DIG) is a well-known property of spiral galaxies. The integrated Hα luminosity of the DIG is very high (accounting for ∼ 50% of the total Hα emission in a galaxy), which makes it important to understand the origin of this diffuse component.",
