Local Interstellar Matter: The Apex Cloud
Several nearby individual low column density interstellar cloudlets have been identified previously based on kinematical features evident in high-resolution Ca observations near the Sun. One of these cloudlets, the ‘Apex Cloud” (AC), is within 5 pc of the Sun in the solar apex direction. The question of which interstellar cloud will constitute the next galactic environment of the Sun in princip...

متن کاملEnergy dissipation in interstellar cloud collisions
We present a study of the kinetic energy dissipation in interstellar cloud collisions. The main aim is to understand the dependence of the elasticity (defined as the ratio of the final to the initial kinetic energy of the clouds) on the velocity and mass ratio of the colliding clouds, magnetic field strength, and gas metallicity for head-on collisions. The problem has been studied both analytic...
متن کاملDust in the Small Magellanic Cloud: Interstellar Polarization and Extinction
The typical extinction curve for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), in contrast to that for the Galaxy, has no bump at 2175 Å and has a steeper rise into the far ultraviolet. For the Galaxy the interpretation of the extinction and, therefore, the dust content of the interstellar medium has been greatly assisted by measurements of the wavelength dependence of the polarization. To the present no s...
متن کاملThe ionisation state of PAHs in interstellar environments
We present an ionisation model for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules fromwhich we determine the various size dependant ionisation states expected in different space environments.Maps of ionisation regimes are derived. They allow the estimate of the ionisation fraction of PAH for any given set of parameters (electron density, flux factor and temperature) assuming a typical PAH size...
