RESUMO

This paper calculates the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension or fractal dimension of two astronomical objects using the box counting method. Images were obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope from the regions of star formation known as Hubble V and Hubble X, located in the NGC 6822 galaxy. The fractal dimension values for these H II giant regions are compared to the results of other astronomical objects from the same species that are reported in the literature. A new scheme for classification of the giant H II regions is proposed based on this property.
