Synthesis of Data on the Local Interstellar Medium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
During this workshop, a considerable amount of data was presented, some refined versions of earlier results and some entirely new. While no completely definite picture of the local interstellar medium can be presented yet, some general conclusions can be drawn. We attempt to draw together the most relevant data in Section III. Some new UV results are collated with published results to help state the physical properties of the gas. A morphological view of the local medium is given in Section III. We confine ourselves to the region within 100 pc with the caveat that the distance of much of the material under discussion is poorly known.
