Journal ArticleDOI
The interstellar environment of our galaxy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the current knowledge and understanding of the interstellar medium of our galaxy and discuss the interaction of these interstellar constituents, both with each other and with stars, in the framework of the general galactic ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galactic Magnetism: Recent developments and perspectives
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that a turbulent hydromagnetic dynamo of some kind and an inverse cascade of magnetic energy gives the most plausible explanation for the regular galactic magnetic fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Super-Alfvénic Model of Dark Clouds
Paolo Padoan,Aake Nordlund +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the results of numerical experiments in two opposite regimes: A ~ 1 and A 1, where A is the initial Alfvenic Mach number, the ratio of the rms velocity to the Alfven speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsar rotation measures and the large-scale structure of the galactic magnetic field
TL;DR: In this paper, Parkes radio telescope observations of distant southern pulsars were combined with previously published observations to give clear evidence for large-scale counterclockwise magnetic fields (viewed from the north Galactic pole) in the spiral arms interior to the Sun and weaker evidence for a counter-clockwise field in the Perseus arm.
Book ChapterDOI
Neutral Hydrogen and the Diffuse Interstellar Medium
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) constitutes about 4.4% of the mass of the visible matter in the galaxy, and that HI dominates H2 in mass beyond Galactocentric radius 8 kpc.
