Infrared Emission from Interstellar Dust. Ii. the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
We present a quantitative model for the infrared emission from dust in the di†use interstellar medium. The model consists of a mixture of amorphous silicate grains and carbonaceous grains, each with a wide size distribution ranging from molecules containing tens of atoms to large grains km in diameter. Z1 We assume that the carbonaceous grains have properties like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbo...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of the Ratio of Carbon Monoxide to Molecular Hydrogen in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
We have used archival far-ultraviolet spectra from observations made by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE ) to determine the column densities and rotational excitation temperatures for carbon monoxide and molecular hydrogen, respectively, along the lines of sight to 23 Galactic O and B stars. The si...
متن کاملThe chemistry of transient microstructure in the diffuse interstellar medium
Transient microstructure in the diffuse interstellar medium has been observed towards galactic and extragalactic sources for decades, usually in lines of atoms and ions, and, more recently, in molecular lines. Evidently, there is a molecular component to the transient microstructure. In this paper we explore the chemistry that may arise in such microstructure. We use a PDR code to model the con...
متن کاملDetection of in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium: the Galactic Center
Absorption lines of have been detected in the spectra of two infrared sources in the Galactic 3 center and also toward the heavily reddened star Cygnus OB2 No. 12, whose line of sight is believed to include only di†use interstellar gas. The absorptions toward the Galactic center sources (IRS 3 and GCS 3-2) probably are due to both in di†use gas and in molecular clouds. The ratios of line equiva...
متن کاملThe Thinnest Cold Hi Clouds in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium?
We confirm and discuss recently discovered cold HI clouds with column densities among the lowest ever detected. The column densities of Cold Neutral Medium (CNM) towards 3C286 and 3C287 are ∼ 10 cm, below an observational lower limit, and also below tiny-scale-atomic clouds detected by VLBI and time-variable profiles against pulsars. These column densities are close to the minimum imposed by th...
