Checkout of the instruments is to take about four months, and the new name for SIRTF is to be announced with the release of the first observations after that time. See http://sirtf.jpl.nasa.gov Progress on Understanding Gamma-ray Bursts Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Press Release Release No.: 03-08 Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most violent explosions in the Universe, but little is known about them. In recent years, several theories have been put forward to explain these elusive explosions, but the mystery still remains. Now, two recent bursts observed by astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) provide unique data that can not only help test previous models but also help theorists come up with a better picture of what GRBs really are. A highly polarized blast Harvard astronomer David Bersier and his colleagues observed the first burst, GRB 020405, to measure the amount of polarization of light from its afterglow. Polarization is a measure of the direction of vibration of light waves. Polarized light tends to vibrate in a particular direction in the sky, while unpolarized light vibrates in all directions equally.

C3103: The Galaxy and the Interstellar Medium Fall 2007 Lecture times: Monday/Wednesday 2:40-3:55 PM Instructor: Greg Bryan Office: Pupin 1325 Office hours: Tuesday 2-4 pm (or anytime I'm around) Office phone: 854-6837 course web-page: www.astro.columbia.edu/~gbryan/C3103 (or via courseworks) Course Description This course describes the structure of the Galaxy and the physical processes that underlie it. Topics include: current galactic structure, the interstellar medium, dark matter, gas dynamics, shocks, gravitational collapse, star formation, supernovae remnants, stellar dynamics, spiral arms, galaxy formation. Prerequisite: one year of calculus-based general physics. The idea for this course is simple: develop a coherent physics-based theory which describes how our galaxy works, and use it to explain the key observations of our galaxy (and others). Rather than trying to provide a traditional astronomical view of the galaxy, with lots of detailed observations, we will try focus on a few key things that we know about the galaxy, and use a simple theory to explain them. Both the mathematics and physics involved will be a basic level, and I will try to keep the course relatively self-contained, although some basic astronomy background will be necessary. The course will consist of two parts: the first will focus on the stellar component of galaxies, while the second part will primarily investigate the gas and dust out of which stars form. By the end of the course you should be able to read and understand most journal papers on the Galaxy and the ISM.

It has been claimed that cellulose obviates the need for the presence of both H O ice and silicates in the interstellar medium . Several organic molecules have already been found associated with dust grains in the interstellar medium. The dust grains offer protection from dissociation and could aid in the cellulose formation process . The sample we chose was regenerated cellulose produced from wood pulp, known generally as cellophane. References Nature Astrophys. J.

Next: 3.1.4 Formation and Evolution Up: 3.1.3 Galaxy Evolution and Previous: Radio Continuum Imaging The Interstellar Medium The interstellar medium is the matrix within which the processes of galaxy evolution occur. It exists in many states: atomic and ionized hydrogen, relativistic plasma, molecular gas, and dust, each containing velocity and density structures over a vast range of scales. At the low spatial scales, a highly disturbed state is maintained by point-like energy input from stars at all phases of the stellar lifecycle. On the other end of the scale, energy input can take the form of global, large-scale phenomena, such as viscous dissipation or magnetic stress from Galactic rotation, and the motion of spiral arm density waves. Despite the apparent flux of energy on all scales, pockets of relative quiescence exist, where cold gas can self-gravitate and the process of star formation begins. The life cycle of stars, and the state and evolution of the ISM environment, are intimately intertwined. Previous sections have discussed the imaging power of SKA for atomic hydrogen, relativistic plasma, and ionized medium in galaxies. In the Milky Way the resolving power of the SKA will allow images of these components of the ISM on scales of AU anywhere in the Galaxy, and below an AU within 1 kpc from the Sun. We will be able to study processes in the ISM that require imaging on the scale of stellar dimensions, for example, the final stages of the formation of stars, energy injection from stars into the ISM, shock propagation, and the interface boundaries between ISM states and conditions.

Physics and Chemistry of the Interstellar Medium Sun Kwok University of Hong Kong "This book is one of the few modern texts on the interstellar medium. It is particularly excellent for microphysical processes and particularly those that are not easily accessible-physically oriented discussions of atomic and molecular excitation and radiation, molecular binding and astrochemical processes, and important detailed aspects of interstellar grains such as the observational manifestations and formation/destruction mechanisms. Carl Heiles, UC Berkeley "I would recommend that this book be adopted by faculty for their courses. Students will learn a great deal from it, and it will be useful as a reference for researchers in this field." Mark Wolfire, University of Maryland This book is a graduate-level text covering the fundamental physics and chemistry required for a modern understanding of the interstellar medium. Radiation mechanisms are comprehensively presented, and extensive examples are drawn from observations in the X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, infrared, mm/sub mm, and radio observations. This book goes beyond a phenomenological study of the interstellar medium to give a detailed quantitative treatment of the radiative and dynamical interactions between stars and the interstellar medium. With an emphasis on a physical understanding of these processes, the mathematical derivations are clean, elegant and easily understandable by anyone with an undergraduate background in physics.

74. What Is The Interstellar Medium? Brief and Straightforward Guide What is the interstellar medium? http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-interstellar-medium.htm

What is the Interstellar Medium? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window The interstellar medium is the name scientists give to the highly dispersed gas and dust found between the stars in a galaxy . Of the mix, 99% is gas and 1% dust. Of the gas, 90% is hydrogen and 10% helium . The density of the interstellar medium varies depending where you are and in what galaxy, but it varies between a few thousand to a few hundred million particles per cubic meter, with an average in the Milky Way of approximately a million particles per cubic meter. Contrast this with the intergalactic medium , which has only 100-1000 particles per cubic meter, or the average density of the universe, which contains numerous massive voids, bringing it all the way down to only a single particle per cubic meter. Astrophysicists are very interested in the precise qualities of the interstellar medium because it strongly influences the process of star formation. Denser regions are more likely to condense into stars. Very old galaxies, such as those which power quasars, are thought to have a higher average density than present-day galaxies, which have aggregated into stars and planets. Aggregation continues at all times on all scales of the interstellar medium, as new stars are born and die in clouds called nebulae. The launch of the Hubble Space Telescope greatly enhanced our knowledge of these bodies and how they move in and interact with the interstellar medium. The first philosopher to recognize the existence of an interstellar medium was Francis Bacon, who wrote about it in 1626. Francis Bacon also originated the
