Constraining the extra heating of the Diffuse Ionized Gas in the Milky Way
The detailed observations of the diffuse ionized gas through the emission lines Hα, [NII], and [SII] in the Perseus Arm of our Galaxy by the Wisconsin Hα Mapper (WHAM)–survey challenge photoionization models. They have to explain the observed rise in the line ratios [NII]/Hα and [SII]/Hα. The models described here consider for the first time the detailed observational geometry toward the Perseu...
متن کاملRadiative Cooling of the Diffuse Gas in the Milky Way
The heating and cooling of the interstellar medium (ISM) allow the gas in the ISM to coexist at very different temperatures in thermal pressure equilibrium. The rate at which the gas cools or heats is therefore a fundamental ingredient for any theory of the ISM. The heating cannot be directly determined, but the cooling can be inferred from observations of C II*, which is an important coolant i...
متن کاملThe Dark Disk of the Milky Way
Massive satellite accretions onto early galactic disks can lead to the deposition of dark matter in disk-like configurations that co-rotate with the galaxy. This phenomenon has potentially dramatic consequences for dark matter detection experiments. We utilize focused, high-resolution simulations of accretion events onto disks designed to be Galaxy analogues, and compare the resultant disks to ...
متن کاملMilky Way Gas Dynamics
The Milky Way is made up of a central bar, a disk with embedded spiral arms, and a dark matter halo. Observational and theoretical constraints for the characteristic parameters of these components will be presented, with emphasis on the constraints from the dynamics of the Milky Way gas. In particular, the fraction of dark matter inside the solar radius, the location of the main resonances, and...
متن کاملThe Formation of the Milky Way Disk
We present theoretical results on the galactic abundance gradients of several chemical species for the Milky Way disk, obtained using an improved version of the two-infall model of Chiappini, Matteucci, & Gratton (1997) that incorporates a more realistic model of the galactic halo and disk. This improved model provides a satisfactory fit to the elemental abundance gradients as inferred from the...
