The role of turbulence in the warm ionized medium
Alex S. Hill, Kenneth Wood, and L. Matthew Haffner
TL;DR
This paper investigates how turbulence influences the warm ionized medium's emission and ionization, using simulations and radiative transfer modeling to replicate observed features.
Contribution
It introduces a Monte Carlo radiative transfer approach applied to supernova-driven ISM simulations to explain WIM observations.
Findings
Reproduces observed emission measures of the WIM
Shows turbulence impacts ionization structure
Validates simulation with observational data
Abstract
We discuss the role of turbulence in establishing the observed emission measures and ionization of the warm ionized medium. A Monte Carlo radiative transfer code applied to a snapshot of a simulation of a supernova-driven, multi-temperature, stratified ISM reproduces the essential observed features of the WIM.
