DFG Priority Program 1573
The Interstellar Medium
Splinter Meeting J
Annual Meeting of the Astronomische Gesellschaft,
Bamberg, September 22-26, 2014
"The variable sky: From tiny variations to big explosions"
A characteristic property of the interstellar medium is its astonishing dynamics: turbulent high average density regions ('clouds') form, for example by converging flows, and disperse again due to energy release from stars. Even on the largest scales, significant inflows and outflows of often multi-phase gas is observed, and essential to explain the amount of gas in galaxies, or enriched gas outside galaxies. Since it is partly ionised, magnetic fields are amplified by the dynamics. The dynamics is also vital for the mixing of freshly ejected metals into all the phases of the interstellar medium. The entire electromagnetic spectrum contributes and time-dependent simulations are required to interpret the data. This splinter meeting will focus on recent developments in the area of interstellar medium research.
Program
There will be a general poster exhibition in the foyer of the lecture hall M3N /02.27.
Registration
