Non-equilibrium Ionization State of Warm–hot Intergalactic Medium
Time evolution of the ionization state of metals in the cosmic baryons is investigated in a cosmological context without the assumption of ionization equilibrium. We find that a significant fraction of ionized oxygen (Ovii and Oviii) in the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) is not in the ionization equilibrium state at a redshift of z≃ 0. We also investigate the effect on the detectability a...
متن کاملModeling the Local Warm/Hot Bubble
In this paper we review the modeling of the Local Bubble (LB) with special emphasis on the progress we have made since the last major conference “The Local Bubble and Beyond (I)” held in Garching in 1997. Since then new insight was gained into the possible origin of the LB, with a moving group crossing its volume during the last 10 15 Myr being most likely responsible for creating a local cavit...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium of Ionization and the Detection of Hot Plasma in Nanoflare-heated Coronal Loops
Impulsive nanoflares are expected to transiently heat the plasma confined in coronal loops to temperatures of the order of 10 MK. Such hot plasma is hardly detected in quiet and active regions, outside flares. During rapid and short heat pulses in rarified loops the plasma can be highly out of equilibrium of ionization. Here we investigate the effects of the non-equilibrium of ionization (NEI) ...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Photodissociation Regions: Ionization-dissociation Fronts
We discuss the theory of coupled ionization{dissociation fronts produced when molecular clouds are exposed to < 1110 A radiation from hot stars. A steady, composite structure is developed, which generally includes an ionized outtow away from the cloud, an ionization front, a layer of photodissociated gas, a photodissociation front, and a shock wave preceding the photodissociation front. We show...
متن کاملLocal non-equilibrium thermodynamics
Local Shannon entropy lies at the heart of modern thermodynamics, with much discussion of trajectory-dependent entropy production. When taken at both boundaries of a process in phase space, it reproduces the second law of thermodynamics over a finite time interval for small scale systems. However, given that entropy is an ensemble property, it has never been clear how one can assign such a quan...
