A Universe of Stars? A Universe of Hydrogen gas
![Page 3: Shells, Bubbles, Worms, and Chimneys: Highlights from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey Shantanu Basu U. Western Ontario Michigan State University October.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649cc65503460f9498fc48/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Interstellar Medium
• The matter between the stars, mostly hydrogen gas
• A complex balance between the conversion of gas to stars and the feedback from stars, e.g., massive stars at the end of their life
• The ISM holds the key to understanding star formation
• The ISM plays a key role in understanding galaxy formation and evolution
• Details of ISM evolution best studied in our Galaxy

The Evolution of Matter
The “ecosystem” of galaxies
![Page 5: Shells, Bubbles, Worms, and Chimneys: Highlights from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey Shantanu Basu U. Western Ontario Michigan State University October.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649cc65503460f9498fc48/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Milky Way Galaxy is the only galaxy close enough to see the details of the Galactic “Ecosystem”.
Challenges• The Galactic plane encircles the Earth
– A large area of sky must be observed
• The Galaxy is a 3-dimensional object– Must untangle the third dimension
• High Angular resolution is need to see the details in the context of the larger picture– A very large data base
• A large range of wavelengths must be covered to see all major components of the ISM– Several telescopes will be required

Objectives of the CGPS
Science Goals:
• How does the interstellar medium evolve?Explore the evolutionary relationship between the phases and states
of the interstellar medium. How do galaxies convert diffuse primordial hydrogen to stars and the building blocks of life?
• What energizes and shapes the medium?Characterize the energy sources and modes of energy transport
• Is the Milky Way a closed system?Explore the vertical structure out of the disk. Is there mass and
energy exchange between the disk and extragalactic space?
Observing Goals:
• Create a high-resolution (1arcminute), 3-dimensional map of the interstellar medium of the Milky Way. The first large-scale, spectral line, aperture synthesis survey ever made.
• Construct a Galactic Plane Survey Data base of the distribution of major constituents of the interstellar medium.

Ionization front in a stratified medium (W4)
Basu, Johnstone, & Martin (1999)
Initial ionization front around an H II region for RSt/H = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Atmosphere = e - z/H. Breakout when RSt/H > 1.
Ionization front around a wind-swept shell in the same atmosphere for n = 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm-3. Require n > 10 cm-3 to fit observations of W4.
![Page 33: Shells, Bubbles, Worms, and Chimneys: Highlights from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey Shantanu Basu U. Western Ontario Michigan State University October.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081513/56649cc65503460f9498fc48/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Evolution of Ionization FrontBasu, Johnstone, & Martin (1999) - emission measure through ionized region.
Ionizing photons initially escape atmosphere, then trapped by wind-swept shell, then break out of the top part of shell. Competition of n2 dependence of recombination rate vs. diverging streamlines.
Eventually, some 15% of ionizing photons escape through the top of shell. If this is typical of superbubbles, can it explain the Reynolds layer (scale height of free electrons ~ 1 kpc)?

Age agrees with estimates for age of cluster OCl 352 at the base of the superbubble; consistent with bubble powered by stellar winds.
Dynamics of W4 Superbubble• Numerical hydrodynamic simulations predict lack of collimation at large height and Rayleigh-Taylor instability => not seen!
• Likely need to run MHD models for a more complete picture.

The Mushroom Cloud: GW123.4-1.5
Challenges to conventional superbubble models:
1) narrow stem width and large cap to stem width ratio
2) bulk of mass in cap
3) excess of H I emission, not a deficit

ConclusionsOnly a small fraction of the Galaxy has so far been mapped in 1 arcminute resolution. Some of what has been learned:
• First close-up views of exotic phenomena (chimney, mushroom) related to the disk-halo interaction (matter and radiation transport) in our Galaxy
• First comparison of observed superbubble(s) with theoretical models. Evidence for highly stratified ISM near star-forming regions => superbubbles have limited influence near Galactic Plane; significant fraction of ionizing photons can escape to high latitudes
• Widespread complex polarization patterns - a tracer of magnetic field and ionized medium
In the future, expanded CGPS + VGPS + SGPS will:
• Observe nearly full Galactic longitude range at 1 arcminute resolution
• Focus on individual disk-halo interaction candidates to higher latitude
• Explore star formation by focusing on atomic gas around molecular clouds
