25 Conclusions Take away points Ionisation dominates/explains band-ratio variations Both galaxies span entire range ( 5) of ratios (ionisation degree) SMC fainter in PAHs and exhibits more low ionisation Little spatial patterns (clumpiness) Radiation heating acts far (>50 pc) into the cold gas at these metalicities Physical state of the cloud interfaces driven by clumpy ISM Probably related to more translucent ISM at low-z S.
