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. Large-scale turbulence determines the formation of structures like filaments and shells in the diffuse interstellar medium.

Interstellar Polarization Survey. II. General Interstellar Medium
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Abstract Magnetic fields permeate the entire Galaxy and are essential to, for example, the regulation of several stages of the star formation process and cosmic-ray transportation. Unraveling their properties, such as intensity and topology, is an observational challenge that requires combining different and complementary techniques. The

Rubidium in the Interstellar Medium [PDF]
, 2009 We present observations of interstellar rubidium toward o Per, zeta Per, AE Aur, HD 147889, chi Oph, zeta Oph, and 20 Aql. Theory suggests that stable 85Rb and long-lived 87Rb are produced predominantly by high-mass stars, through a combination of the ...

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 ...

Mapping local interstellar medium with diffuse interstellar bands [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT With the use of the data from archives, we studied the correlations between the equivalent widths of four diffuse interstellar bands (4430, 5780, 5797, 6284 $\mathring{\rm A}$) and properties of the target stars (colour excess values, distances, and Galactic coordinates).

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.

Cosmic-ray driven dynamo in the medium of irregular galaxy [PDF]
, 2009 We investigate the cosmic ray driven dynamo in the interstellar medium of irregular galaxy. The observations (Chyzy et al. 2000, 2003) show that the magnetic field in irregular galaxies is present and its value reaches the same level as in spiral ...

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.
