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...
متن کاملPhysical Properties of the Local Interstellar Medium
The observed properties of the local interstellar medium (LISM) have been facilitated by a growing ultraviolet and optical database of high spectral resolution observations of interstellar absorption toward nearby stars. Such observations provide insight into the physical properties (e.g., temperature, turbulent velocity, and depletion onto dust grains) of the population of warm clouds (e.g., 7...
متن کاملPhysical structure of the local interstellar medium
The physical structure and morphology of the interstellar medium that surrounds our solar system directly effects the heliosphere and the interplanetary environment. High resolution ultraviolet absorption spectra of nearby stars and the intervening interstellar medium, observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, provide important information about the chemical abundance, ionization, temperature, ki...
متن کاملExotic clouds in the local interstellar medium
The neutral interstellar medium (ISM) inside the Local Bubble (LB) has been known to have properties typical of the warm neutral medium (WNM). However, several recent neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption experiments show evidence for the existence of at least several cold diffuse clouds inside or at the boundary of the LB, with properties highly unusual relative to the traditional cold neutral medi...
