Interstellar Cirrus Observed in Balmer Hα
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
We present Hα images with 0.1° resolution and fields of view larger than 10°. In some regions of the sky, the Balmer Hα emission is correlated positively with IRAS 100 μm emission. Observations of such sensitivity and angular scale as these provide a new view of the interstellar medium of our Galaxy (see also Dennison et al., this volume, p. 182) and may allow us to distinguish between Galactic foreground and cosmic background for both the free-free emission and the thermal dust emission associated with the warm ionized medium of the Milky Way.
