Modeling the Warm Ionized Interstellar Medium and Its Impact on Elemental Abundance Studies
We present model calculations of ionization fractions for elements in the warm (T ∼ 10 K), low-density photoionized interstellar medium (WIM) of the Milky Way. We model the WIM as a combination of overlapping low-excitation H II regions having n(H)/n(H) ∼> 0.8. Our adopted standard model incorporates an intrinsic elemental abundance pattern similar to that found for warm neutral clouds in the G...
متن کاملThe warm ionized medium in spiral galaxies
This article reviews observations and models of the diffuse ionized gas that permeates the disk and halo of our Galaxy and others. It was inspired by a series of invited talks presented during an afternoon scientific session of the 65th birthday celebration for Professor Carl Heiles held at Arecibo Observatory in August 2004. This review is in recognition of Carl’s long standing interest in and...
متن کاملThe Three-dimensional Structure of the Warm Local Interstellar Medium. Ii. the Colorado Model of the Local Interstellar Cloud1
In this second paper in a series on the structure of the local interstellar medium (LISM), we construct a three-dimensional model of the local interstellar cloud (LIC) based on Hubble Space Telescope (HST ), Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUV E), and ground-based Ca II spectra. Starting with hydrogen column densities derived from deuterium column densities measured with the Goddard High Resoluti...
متن کاملThe 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...
