The effect of grain size distribution on H 2 formation rate in the interstellar medium
The formation of molecular hydrogen in the interstellar medium takes place on the surfaces of dust grains. Hydrogen molecules play a role in gasphase reactions that produce other molecules, some of which serve as coolants during gravitational collapse and star formation. Thus, the evaluation of the production rate of hydrogen molecules and its dependence on the physical conditions in the cloud ...
متن کاملThe Size Distribution of Superbubbles in the Interstellar Medium
We use the standard, adiabatic shell evolution to predict the size distribution N(R) for populations of SN-driven superbubbles in a uniform ISM. We derive N(R) for simple cases of superbubble creation rate and mechanical luminosity function. We then compare our predictions for N(R) with the largely complete H i hole catalogue for the SMC, with a view toward the global structure of the ISM in th...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Thermal Pressures in the Interstellar Medium
It is generally recognized that the interstellar medium has a vast range of densities and temperatures. While these two properties are usually anticorrelated with each other, there are nevertheless variations in their product, nT , the thermal gas pressure (divided by the Boltzmann constant k). A study of these variations and their kinematical relationships can help to mold our concepts of inte...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Pressures in a Supernova-Driven Interstellar Medium
Observations have suggested substantial departures from pressure equilibrium in the interstellar medium (ISM) in the plane of the Galaxy, even on scales under 50 pc. Nevertheless, multi-phase models of the ISM assume at least locally isobaric gas. The pressure then determines the density reached by gas cooling to stable thermal equilibrium. We use two different sets of numerical models of the I...
متن کاملGrain size, size-distribution and dislocation structure
Diffraction peak profile analysis (or Line Profile Analysis, LPA) has recently been developed to such an extent that it can be applied as a powerful method for the characterization of microstructures of crystalline materials in terms of crystallite size-distribution and dislocation structures. Physically based theoretical functions and their Fourier coefficients are available for both, the size...
