Energy dissipation in interstellar cloud collisions
We present a study of the kinetic energy dissipation in interstellar cloud collisions. The main aim is to understand the dependence of the elasticity (defined as the ratio of the final to the initial kinetic energy of the clouds) on the velocity and mass ratio of the colliding clouds, magnetic field strength, and gas metallicity for head-on collisions. The problem has been studied both analytic...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamics of Cloud Collisions in a Multi-phase Interstellar Medium
We extend previous studies of the physics of interstellar cloud collisions by beginning investigation of the role of magnetic fields through 2D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) numerical simulations. In particular, we study head-on collisions between equal mass, mildly supersonic diffuse clouds similar to our previous study. Here we include a moderate magnetic field, corresponding to β = pg/pb = 4, ...
متن کاملLocal Interstellar Matter: The Apex Cloud
Several nearby individual low column density interstellar cloudlets have been identified previously based on kinematical features evident in high-resolution Ca observations near the Sun. One of these cloudlets, the ‘Apex Cloud” (AC), is within 5 pc of the Sun in the solar apex direction. The question of which interstellar cloud will constitute the next galactic environment of the Sun in princip...

متن کاملCommunication: Mapping water collisions for interstellar space conditions.
We report a joint experimental and theoretical study that directly tests the quality of the potential energy surfaces used to calculate energy changing cross sections of water in collision with helium and molecular hydrogen, at conditions relevant for astrophysics. Fully state-to-state differential cross sections are measured for H(2)O-He and H(2)O-H(2) collisions at 429 and 575 cm(-1) collisio...
