Ju n 20 03 The tiny - scale atomic structure : gas cloudlets or scintillation phenomenon ?
We present here preliminary results from the recent multi-epoch HI absorption measurements toward several pulsars using the Arecibo telescope. We do not find significant variations in optical depth profiles over periods of 4 months and 9 years. The upper limits on the optical depth variations in directions of B0823+26 and B1133+16 are similar on scales of 10–20, 350 and 500 AU. The large number...
متن کاملDoes Tiny-scale Atomic Structure Exist in the Interstellar Medium ?
We report on preliminary results from the recent multi-epoch neutral hydrogen absorption measurements toward three pulsars, B0823+26, B1133+16 and B2016+28, using the Arecibo telescope. We do not find significant variations in optical depth profiles over periods of 0.3 and 9–10 yr, or on spatial scales of 10–20 and 70–85 AU. The large number of non detections of the tiny scale atomic structure ...
متن کاملTiny-Scale Atomic Structure and the Cold Neutral Medium—Review and Recap
Almost a decade ago I wrote an article with the same title as this. It focused on the physical properties of the Tiny-Scale Atomic Structure (TSAS) as discrete structures of the Cold Neutral Medium (CNM). To be observable, tiny discrete structures that don’t grossly violate pressure equilibrium need two attributes: low temperatures and geometrical anisotropy. Here I update that article. I discu...
متن کاملB 1849 + 00 probes the tiny - scale molecular gas ?
In this paper we present and discuss the great difference in OH absorption spectra against PSR B1849+00 and SNR G33.6+0.1 along the same line-ofsight. This finding is important as it clearly demonstrates that statistics of absorbing molecular gas depends on the size of the background source.
متن کاملPulsar Studies of Tiny - Scale Structure in the Neutral ISM
We describe the use of pulsars to study small-scale neutral structure in the interstellar medium (ISM). Because pulsars are high velocity objects, the pulsarEarth line of sight sweeps rapidly across the ISM. Multiepoch measurements of pulsar interstellar spectral line spectra therefore probe ISM structures on AU scales. We review pulsar measurements of small scale structure in HI and OH and com...
