Halo gas accretion onto disk galaxies
Studies of the halo gas in the Milky Way and in nearby spiral galaxies show the presence of gas complexes that cannot be reconciled with an internal (galactic fountain) origin and are direct evidence of gas accretion. Estimating gas accretion rates from these features consistently gives values, which are one order of magnitude lower than what is needed to feed the star formation. I show that th...
متن کاملConference Summary: Themes and Questions about the Disk-halo Interaction
The papers in this volume represent a broad spectrum of observational, theoretical, and computational astrophysics, sharing as a unifying core the Disk-Halo Interaction in the Milky Way and other spiral galaxies. This topic covers a wide range of Galactic and extragalactic research, built on a foundation of numerous and diverse physical processes. This summary groups the papers according to six...
متن کاملDark Halo and Disk Galaxy Scaling Laws
I highlight recent progress in our understanding of the origin of disk galaxy scaling laws in a hierarchically clustering universe. Numerical simulations of galaxy formation in Cold Dark Matter (CDM) dominated universes indicate that the slope and scatter of the I-band Tully-Fisher (TF) relation are well reproduced in this model, although not, as proposed in recent work, because of the cosmolog...
متن کاملDisk-Halo Interaction - I. Three-Dimensional Evolution of the Galactic Disk
The results of a three-dimensional model for disk-halo interaction are presented here. The model considers explicitly the input of energy and mass by isolated and correlated supernovae in the disk. Once disrupted by the explosions, the disk never returns to its initial state. Instead it approaches a state where a thin HI disk is formed in the Galactic plane overlayed by thick HI and HII gas dis...
متن کاملCosmic Rays in the Disk and Halo of Galaxies
We give a review of cosmic ray propagation models. It is shown that the development of the theory of cosmic ray origin leads inevitably to the conclusion that cosmic ray propagation in the Galaxy is determined by effective particle scattering, which is described by spatial diffusion. The Galactic Disk is surrounded by an extended halo, in which cosmic rays are confined before escaping into inte...
