The nearby dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 205 offers a unique opportunity for high resolution studies of the interstellar medium in an elliptical galaxy. The present paper investigates the distribution of molecular gas, molecular line ratios, and the relationships between atomic gas, molecular gas, and dust in this galaxy. The line ratios 12 CO(2-1)/(1-0) and 12 CO(1-0)/ 13 CO(1-0) in one of the m...
متن کاملDetailed analysis of observed antiprotons in cosmic rays
In the present work, the origin of antiprotons observed in cosmic rays (above the atmosphere) is analyzed in details. We have considered the origin of the primaries, (which their interactions with the interstellar medium is one of the most important sources of antiprotons) is a supernova type II then used a diffusion model for their propagation. We have used the latest parameterization for anti...

An atlas of the Galactic plane (−4.7 • < b < 4.7 •) plus the molecular clouds in Orion, ρ Ophiuchus, and Taurus-Auriga has been produced at 60 and 100 µm from IRAS data. The atlas consists of resolution-enhanced coadded images having 1 ′ – 2 ′ resolution as well as coadded images at the native IRAS resolution. The IRAS Galaxy Atlas, together with the DRAO HI line / 21 cm continuum and FCRAO CO ...
متن کاملA Toomre-like stability criterion for the clumpy and turbulent interstellar medium
We explore the gravitational instability of clumpy and turbulent gas discs, taking into account the Larson-type scaling laws observed in giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and HI, as well as more general scaling relations. This degree of freedom is of special interest in view of the coming high-z interstellar medium surveys and is thus potentially important for understanding the dynamical effects of...

We review the current knowledge and understanding of the interstellar medium of our galaxy. We first present each of the three basic constituents – ordinary matter, cosmic rays, and magnetic fields – of the interstellar medium, laying emphasis on their physical and chemical properties inferred from a broad range of observations. We then position the different interstellar constituents, both wit...
