The Local Interstellar Medium
Substantial progress in the field of the Local Interstellar Medium has been largely due to recent launches of space missions, mostly in the UV and X–ray domains, but also to ground-based observations, mainly in high resolution spectroscopy. However, a clear gap seems to remain between the wealth of new data and the theoretical understanding. This paper gives an overview of some observational as...
متن کاملThe Local Interstellar Medium
The Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) is a unique environment that presents an opportunity to study general interstellar phenomena in great detail and in three dimensions. In particular, high resolution optical and ultraviolet spectroscopy have proven to be powerful tools for addressing fundamental questions concerning the physical conditions and three-dimensional (3D) morphology of this local m...

1.25 Over the past 40 years, about 140 distinct molecular species have been detected in a wide range of astronomical locations (see http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~awootten/ allmols.html). We now know that molecules are present within our galaxy in the atmospheres of cool stars, in stellar envelopes, in planetary nebulae, in the ejecta of novae and supernovae, in diffuse and dense clouds in the interst...
متن کاملThe Interstellar Medium as a Gravity Wave Detector
An observer, situated several thousand light-years away from a radio pulsar, finds himself embedded in the diffraction pattern resulting from the propagation of the radio waves through the irregular interstellar medium. The observer’s movement relative to the pattern causes an apparent scintillation of the pulsar. A binary star, situated close to the pulsar’s line-of-sight, is generating relati...
متن کاملThe Interstellar Medium of Iras
We confirm the first detection of themolecular ionH3 in an extragalactic object, the highly obscured ultraluminous galaxy IRAS 08572+3915 NW.We also have detected absorption lines of the fundamental band of CO in this galaxy. The CO absorption consists of a cold component close to the systemic velocity and warm, highly blueshifted and redshifted components. The warm blueshifted component is rem...
