Extractions: This material (including images) is . See my for fair use practices. Our solar system is inside a large galaxy known as the Milky Way . All of the stars you can see at night and several hundred billion more are all bound together gravitationally into a huge cluster called a galaxy . Most of the stars in our galaxy are far enough away that they blend together in a thin band across the sky. If you are fortunate enough to view a dark sky outside of the glare of the city lights, you will see this milky band running through the constellations Cassiopeia, Perseus, Taurus, Monoceros, Vela, Crux, Norma, Sagittarius, Scutum, Aguila, Cygnus, and Lacerta. To people of long ago, this band looked like milk had been spilled along a pathway, so it was called the Milky Way. This chapter covers the radical discoveries made in the 20th century of the nature of the Milky Way and our place in it.

Interstellar Medium
interstellar medium. Key Concepts. (1) The interstellar medium (that s just a fancyname for the matter between stars) consists of lowdensity gas and dust.
http://www.stormpages.com/swadhwa/stellarevolution/lecture9.htm

Extractions: Lecture 9 INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM The fact that we can look out far into the galaxy means that there must be very little matter between stars otherwise it would absorb all the starlight. Nevertheless, interstellar space is not entirely empty. 99% of the interstellar medium consists of very low density gas. How low in density is it? Let me tell you. The air we breathe has a density of approximately 10 molecules per cubic centimeter. (One cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter = 1/1000 liter). By contrast, the lowest density regions of interstellar space contains ionized gas with a density of approximately 10 molecules per cubic centimeter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_medium

Extractions: Other languages: Polski Deutsch From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The interstellar medium (or ISM ) is a term used in astronomy to describe the rarefied gas and dust that exists between the stars (or their immediate "circumstellar" environment) within a galaxy . The matter normally consists of about 99% gas particles and usually 1% of dust. This compound is usually extremely tenuous, with typical densities ranging from a few single to a few hundreds of a particles per cubic centimeter. Generally the gas is roughly 90% hydrogen and 10% helium, with additional elements (" metals ", in astronomical parlance) present in trace amounts. The medium is also responsible for the cosmic extiction, namely the decreasing light intensity of a star as the light travels through the medium. The extinction is caused by refraction and absorbtion of photon in certain wavelenghts. For example, the typical absorbtion wavelength of molecular hydrogen lies at ca. 92nm, n=1, The Lyman Alpha Series. So it is nearly impossible to see light emitted at that wavelength from a star, because most of it is used for Lyman Alpha absorbtion.

http://www.iras.ucalgary.ca/~volk/asph503.html

Extractions: This page gives links that are useful for the students in ASPH503, the Interstellar Medium course here at U of Calgary. Below are links to PDF forms of my class notes; the PDF conversion is not always 100% correct for some reason that I have not been able to determine. However I think the files can be printed if desired. PDF (portable document format) is from Adobe Systems, and the Adobe Acrobat reader is needed to view them. The notes more or less replace a textbook, since the field is moving so rapidly and all the available textbooks that I know of are out of date. I have much more emphasis on molecular cloud properties and star formation than is normal in ISM textbooks, since these areas are two of the currently most active aspects of ISM research. The same is true of extragalactic ISM research, but there I was only able to put in a small amount of material mostly for comparison with the situation in the Galaxy. One thing that I could not make for the notes was a copy of the Columbia CO map of the Galaxy by Dame et al. This is refered to in the notes and there are some filler pages where I photocopied the original large-scale map from T. M. Dame et al. (1987; ApJ, 322, 706-720). A nice colour poster of this map is available from Dr. Dame. Some WWW images from the poster are found at this link These notes are free for the downloading, but I stress that they are by no means perfect or even polished. Some parts of them may reflect my ignorance rather than my knowledge. It was educational for me to put the notes together; things have changed a lot since I took this sort of course in 1981.

Extractions: The Interstellar Medium Although space is very empty and the stars in the Milky Way are very far apart, the space between the stars contains a very diffuse medium of gas and dust astronomers call the interstellar medium (ISM) . This medium consists of neutral hydrogen gas (HI), molecular gas (mostly H ), ionized gas (HII), and dust grains. Although the interstellar medium is, by several orders of magnitude, a better vacuum than any physicists can create in the laboratory there is still about of 5-10 billion M of gas and dust out there, comprising approximately 5% of the mass of visible stars in the Galaxy. Neutral Hydrogen Gas The Milky Way Galaxy is filled with a very diffuse distribution of neutral hydrogen gas which has a typical density of about 1 atom/cm g/cm ). The interstellar medium is far too cool to excite the UV or optical transitions of hydrogen, but there is a feature at 21 cm wavelength in the radio produced by the spins (magnetic fields) of the hydrogen atom's nuclear proton and orbiting electron. Because the proton and electron are spinning distributions of electric charge they create minute magnetic fields which interact, creating a small energy difference between the state in which the poles are aligned versus counter-aligned. This energy difference corresponds to the energy of radio waves at 21-centimeters. Every once in a while (about once per 500 years) hydrogen atoms will collide, exciting an atom into the higher energy spin-aligned configuration. It will take as long as 30 million years for the atom to jump back to the lower energy state via a

http://www.drao.nrc.ca/~bveidt/futures_doc/may_report_final/node45.html

Extractions: Next: Physical and Chemical Structure Up: The Large Southern Array Previous: Outflows from Star-Forming Regions The evolution of galaxies is driven by the cycling of gas among several forms, principally diffuse clouds, dense clouds, star-forming cores, and circumstellar envelopes. Since the discovery of interstellar CO twenty-five years ago, we have learned a great deal about the diverse morphology and physical properties of the interstellar gas. However, our understanding of the origins of and the relationships between these various structures remains rudimentary. The physical properties of cold neutral gas are best studied using rotational transitions of molecules. Over a hundred different interstellar and circumstellar molecules have now been identified. Each of these has accessible lines, mostly at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths. The complex energy structure of molecules makes them ideal diagnostics for gas with densities from 10 to 10 cm and temperatures from 10 to 1000 K. Molecular lines have become a tool for the study of molecular gas rivaling in power the recombination lines used at optical wavelengths since the 1950's and at radio wavelengths since the 1960's to probe the ionized gas.
