Equilibrium Ionization and Non-Equilibrium Ionization Plasma Models
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
This paper provides a brief review on ionization and radiation models of an optically thin, hot plasma and their application to the interpretation of observations of the Local Bubble. The basic structure and atomic physics ingredients of the models are outlined. Some general characteristic results of ionization equilibrium and non-equilibrium calculations are shown. Recent progress in plasma model codes is reviewed. The interpretation of the observations of absorption lines and emission spectra from the Local Bubble is discussed in the framework of ionization equilibrium and non-equilibrium ionization models with particular reference to the fast adiabatic cooling model of Breitschwerdt and Schmutzler.
