Diffuse Cloud Models: Successes and Challenges
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2014
Abstract
We present the general physical conditions thought to be present in diffuse interstellar clouds. The radiation field is driving the atomic to molecular transition and the resulting physical conditions. We focus on the recent observational signatures of significant values of the cosmic ionization rate (10−16 - 10−15 s−1) which should also impact the clues to Diffuse interstellar Bands.
