Depolarization of radio synchrotron emission in spiral galaxies
The internal depolarization of linearly polarized radio synchrotron emission of spiral galaxies by differential Faraday rotation in regularmagnetic fields andbyFaradaydispersion in random magnetic fields is formulated in one dimension as a function of radio wavelength λ. The random fields are modeled as a number of cells along the line of sight which obey a Kolmogorov spectrum in size and in fi...
متن کاملSupershells in Spiral Galaxies
Expanding supershells are perhaps the most prominent manifestation of the violent impact which massive stars have on the gaseous ISM. Commonly thought to be formed as a consequence of mechanical luminosity dumped into the ISM by OB associations, supershells can be viewed as a critical gauge of the energy source which ultimately supports interstellar turbulence. I will review the present underst...
متن کاملFaraday ghosts: depolarization canals in the Galactic radio emission
Narrow, elongated regions of very low polarized intensity – so-called canals – have recently been observed by several authors at decimeter wavelengths in various directions in the Milky Way, but their origin remains enigmatic. We show that the canals arise from depolarization by differential Faraday rotation in the interstellar medium and that they represent level lines of Faraday rotation meas...
متن کاملRadiative Transfer in Spiral Galaxies
The internal dust extinction in spiral galaxies can affect our understanding of their structure and morphology, as well as our perception of the distant universe in the background. The intrinsic properties of the stellar and dust components can be studied by comparing the observed appearance of a dusty spiral in the optical with a radiative transfer model. The absorbed starlight is re-radiated ...
متن کاملMolecular gas in spiral galaxies
The molecular hydrogen content of a galaxy is a key parameter for its activity and future evolution. Its variations with basic properties such as size, mass, morphological type, and environment, the ratio of molecular to atomic gas masses, should provide us with a better view of galaxy evolution. Such studies have been done in the past by Sage (1993a) or the FCRAO group (e.g. Young & Knezek 198...
