The Virial Theorem for Action-governed Theories
We describe a simple derivation of virial relations, for arbitrary physical systems that are governed by an action. The virial theorem may be derived directly from the action, A, with no need to go via the equations of motion, and is simply a statement of the stationarity of the action with respect to certain variations in the degrees of freedom. Only a sub-class of solutions that obey appropri...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملA Sharp Form of the Virial Theorem
In its classical form the Virial Theorem concerns the behavior of a system S of n mass particles acting under Newtonian attraction in such a fashion that the center of mass 0 remains fixed and the potential energy V satisfies V> — <*> for all positive time t. The latter condition, which is not always stated explicitly, guarantees the analyticity of the coordinates of the particles in the indepe...
متن کاملThe Interstellar Medium of Iras
We confirm the first detection of themolecular ionH3 in an extragalactic object, the highly obscured ultraluminous galaxy IRAS 08572+3915 NW.We also have detected absorption lines of the fundamental band of CO in this galaxy. The CO absorption consists of a cold component close to the systemic velocity and warm, highly blueshifted and redshifted components. The warm blueshifted component is rem...
