The Turbulent Interstellar Medium [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2006 An overview is presented of the main properties of the interstellar medium. Evidence is summarized that the interstellar medium is highly turbulent, driven on different length scales by various energetic processes.

The Interstellar Environment of our Galaxy [PDF]
, 2001 We review the current knowledge and understanding of the interstellar medium of our galaxy. We first present each of the three basic constituents - ordinary matter, cosmic rays, and magnetic fields - of the interstellar medium, laying emphasis on their ...

Infrared Emission from Interstellar Dust. II. The Diffuse Interstellar Medium [PDF]
, 2001 We present a quantitative model for the infrared emission from dust in the diffuse interstellar medium. The model consists of a mixture of amorphous silicate grains and carbonaceous grains, each with a wide size distribution ranging from molecules ...

Mapping The Interstellar Medium With Near-Infrared Diffuse Interstellar Bands [PDF]
, 2015 We map the distribution and properties of the Milky Way's interstellar medium as traced by diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) detected in near-infrared stellar spectra from the SDSS-III/APOGEE survey.

A Plasma Instability Theory of Gamma-Ray Burst Emission [PDF]
, 1999 A new theory for gamma-ray burst radiation is presented. In this theory, magnetic fields and relativistic electrons are created through plasma processes arising as a relativistic shell passes through the interstellar medium.

Supersonic turbulence and structure of interstellar molecular clouds [PDF]
, 2002 The interstellar medium (ISM) provides a unique laboratory for highly supersonic, driven hydrodynamics turbulence. We present a theory of such turbulence, confirm it by numerical simulations, and use the results to explain observational properties of ...

Variability of GRB Afterglows Due to Interstellar Turbulence [PDF]
, 1999 Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows are commonly interpreted as synchrotron emission from a relativistic blast wave produced by a point explosion in an ambient medium, plausibly the interstellar medium of galaxies.

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...
