The Wisconsin Hα Mapper Northern Sky Survey
L. M. Haffner,Ronald J. Reynolds,S. L. Tufte,G. J. Madsen,Kurt P. Jaehnig,Jeffrey W. Percival +5 more
TL;DR: The Wisconsin Hα Mapper (WHAM) has surveyed the distribution and kinematics of ionized gas in the Galaxy above declination -30° and provided the first absolutely calibrated, kinematically resolved map of the Hα emission from the warm ionized medium (WIM) within ~±100 km s-1 of the local standard of rest as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The local interstellar medium
Donald P. Cox,Ronald J. Reynolds +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of observations and theoretical models of the local interstellar medium (LISM), defined as the region within a column density contour of 10 to the 19th H atoms/sq cm, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The warm ionized medium in spiral galaxies
L. M. Haffner,R.-J. Dettmar,John E. Beckman,Kenneth Wood,Jonathan D. Slavin,C. Giammanco,G. J. Madsen,Almudena Zurita,Ronald J. Reynolds +8 more
TL;DR: A review of observations and models of the diffuse ionized gas that permeates the disk and halo of our Galaxy and others was presented during an afternoon scientific session of the 65th birthday celebration for Professor Carl Heiles held at Arecibo Observatory in August 2004 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
WHAM Observations of Hα, [S II], and [N II] toward the Orion and Perseus Arms: Probing the Physical Conditions of the Warm Ionized Medium
TL;DR: In this article, a large portion of the Galaxy (l \ 123i¨164i, b \( 6i to (35i), which samples regions of the Local (Orion) spiral arm and the more distant Perseus arm, has been mapped with the Wisconsin Ha Mapper (WHAM) in the (S II) j6716 and (N II)j6583 lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accretion of low-metallicity gas by the Milky Way
Bart P. Wakker,J. C. Howk,Blair D. Savage,H. van Woerden,S. L. Tufte,U. J. Schwarz,Robert A. Benjamin,Ronald J. Reynolds,Reynier Peletier,Peter M. W. Kalberla +9 more
TL;DR: A metallicity of 0.09 times solar for a massive cloud that is falling into the disk of the Milky Way and the mass flow associated with this cloud represents an infall per unit area of about the theoretically expected rate.
