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 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 ...
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 کاملExotic clouds in the local interstellar medium
The neutral interstellar medium (ISM) inside the Local Bubble (LB) has been known to have properties typical of the warm neutral medium (WNM). However, several recent neutral hydrogen (HI) absorption experiments show evidence for the existence of at least several cold diffuse clouds inside or at the boundary of the LB, with properties highly unusual relative to the traditional cold neutral medi...
متن کاملChlorine in Dense Interstellar Clouds: the Abundance
We report the first detection of a chlorine-bearing molecular species in the interstellar medium via emission from the J = 1----> 0 transition of HCl at 625.9 GHz toward OMC-1. The relative strengths, widths, and velocities of the resolved hyperfine components are consistent with moderate optical depth emission originating from dense, quiescent molecular cloud material (VLsR = 9 km s1). The ove...
