2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/117279We present a spectrophotometric study of circumnuclear star forming regions (CNSFR) in the early type spiral galaxies: NGC 2903, NGC 3351 and NGC 3504, all of them of over solar metallicity according to standard empirical calibrations. A detailed determination of their abundances is made after careful subtraction of the very prominent underlying stellar absorption. It is found that most regions show the highest abundances in HII region-like objects. The relative N/O and S/O abundances are discussed. In is also shown that CNSFR, as a class, segregate from the disk HII region family, clustering around smaller ``softness parameter" -- η' -- values, and therefore higher ionizing temperatures.4 pages, 5 figures, Metal Rich Universe ConfAstrophysicsThe metallicity of circumnuclear star forming regionstext
