The Thinnest Cold Hi Clouds in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium?
We confirm and discuss recently discovered cold HI clouds with column densities among the lowest ever detected. The column densities of Cold Neutral Medium (CNM) towards 3C286 and 3C287 are ∼ 10 cm, below an observational lower limit, and also below tiny-scale-atomic clouds detected by VLBI and time-variable profiles against pulsars. These column densities are close to the minimum imposed by th...
متن کاملEnigma of H3 + in Diffuse Interstellar Clouds
1. INTRODUCTION H 3 + is of fundamental importance to interstellar chemistry both because it is a hydrogenic species (and >90% of all nuclei in the universe are hydrogen nuclei; see Figure 1) and because it serves as the universal protonator, initiating a chain of ion-neutral reactions that is responsible for the formation of most interstellar molecules. The chemistry of H 3 + in dense (molecul...
متن کاملExtragalactic molecular clouds and chemistry of diffuse interstellar clouds
Zusammenfassung Since the discovery of a cold molecular component of the interstellar medium in the 1970s, it has been realized that most of the dark clouds are actually molecular clouds, consisting mainly of molecular hydrogen and some amount of dust and other molecules. Nowadays, molecular clouds are recognized as places of star-formation in the Milky Way and other galaxies. Therefore, studie...
متن کاملExotic clouds in the local interstellar medium
The neutral interstellar medium (ISM) inside the Local Bubble (LB) has been known to have properties typical of the warm neutral medium (WNM). However, several recent neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption experiments show evidence for the existence of at least several cold diffuse clouds inside or at the boundary of the LB, with properties highly unusual relative to the traditional cold neutral medi...
متن کاملProperties of the thinnest cold HI clouds in the diffuse interstellar medium
Properties of the thinnest cold HI clouds in the diffuse interstellar medium Abstract. We have obtained deep HI observations in the direction of 22 continuum sources without previously detected cold neutral medium (CNM). 18 CNM clouds were detected with the typical HI column density of 3 × 10 18 cm −2. Our surprisingly high detection rate suggests that clouds with low HI column densities are qu...
