Interstellar Turbulence Driving by Galactic Spiral Shocks
Spiral shocks are potentially a major source of turbulence in the interstellar medium. To address this problem quantitatively, we use numerical simulations to investigate gas flow across spiral arms in vertically stratified, self-gravitating, magnetized models of galactic disks. Our models are isothermal, quasi-axisymmetric, and local in the quasi-radial direction while global in the vertical d...
متن کاملFormation of Spiral-Arm Spurs and Bound Clouds in Vertically Stratified Galactic Gas Disks
We investigate the growth of spiral-arm substructure in vertically stratified, self-gravitating, galactic gas disks, using local numerical MHD simulations. Our new models extend our previous two-dimensional studies (Kim & Ostriker 2002), which showed that a magnetized spiral shock in a thin disk can undergo magnetoJeans instability (MJI), resulting in regularly-spaced interarm spur structures a...
متن کاملExtended Red Emission in High-Galactic Latitude Interstellar Clouds
Nearby interstellar clouds at high Galactic latitudes are ideal objects in which the interaction of interstellar dust with photons from the well-characterized interstellar radiation field can be studied. Scattering and UV-excited photoluminescence at optical wavelengths as well as thermal emission at midand far-infrared wavelengths are observable manifestations of such interactions. Here we rep...
متن کاملSiO in diffuse, translucent and ‘spiral-arm’ clouds
Using the Plateau de Bure interferometer, we searched for thermal SiO J=1-2 absorption at 86 GHz from the diffuse and translucent clouds which lie toward our sample of extragalactic continuum sources. SiO is present at a level N(SiO)/N(HCO+) ≈ 0.01 − 0.1, or N(SiO)/N(H2) ≈ 2 × 10−11 − 2 × 10−10. N(SiO) declines with increasing N(HCO+) and with increasing thermal pressure measured in the J=1-0 l...
متن کاملOn water ice formation in interstellar clouds
A model is proposed for the formation of water ice mantles on grains in interstellar clouds. This occurs by direct accretion of monomers from the gas, be they formed by gas or surface reactions. The formation of the first monolayer requires a minimum extinction of interstellar radiation, sufficient to lower the grain temperature to the point where thermal evaporation of monomers is just offset ...
