چکیده

In this paper we present the results of the statistical analysis of high-latitude Hi turbulence in the Milky Way. We have observed Hi in the 21 cm line, obtained with the Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (ALFA) receiver at the Arecibo radio telescope. For recovering of velocity statistics we have used the Velocity Coordinate Spectrum (VCS) technique. In our analysis we have used direct fitting of the VCS model, as its asymptotic regimes are not applicable for Arecibo’s resolution and given the restrictions from thermal smoothing of the turbulent line. We have obtained a velocity spectral index 3.9± 0.1, an injection scale of 130 pc, and an Hi temperature of 50 K. The spectral index is steeper than the Kolmogorov index and can be interpreted as being due to shock-dominated turbulence.

ASTROPHYSICS HI and OH absorption at z = 0 . 89

We report on WSRT observations of HI and OH absorption at a redshift of z = 0.885 towards the radio lens PKS 1830-21. The mm wave transitions of several molecular species have already been observed in absorption towards PKS 1830-21 at this redshift. At mm wavelengths the source structure is dominated by two extremely compact components, the northeast (NE) and southwest (SW) components. At lower...

Velocity Modification of HI Power Spectrum

The distribution of atomic hydrogen in the galactic plane is usually mapped using the Doppler shift of 21 cm emission line and this causes the modification of the observed spectrum which is frequently referred to as velocity crowding effect. We calculate HI spectrum in the velocity space and derive the observed spectrum dependence on the statistics of velocity and density fields. We show that t...

Westerbork HI observations of two High - Velocity Clouds

Westerbork HI synthesis observations are presented for the directions of the stars 4 Lac and HD 135485. Interstellar absorption lines at high velocities had been reported in the UV spectrum of 4 Lac, setting an upper limit of 1.2 kpc on the distance of the associated, small HI cloud (Bates et al. 1990, 1991). The Westerbork observations show that this cloud (l = 100o, b = −7o, vLSR = +100 km s−...
