Journal ArticleDOI

The Wisconsin Hα Mapper Northern Sky Survey

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

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

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

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.
