TL;DR
The DHIGLS survey provides high-resolution measurements of diffuse atomic hydrogen in intermediate Galactic latitudes, enabling new insights into the structure and dynamics of the interstellar medium through detailed power spectrum analysis.
Contribution
This work presents the first extensive arcminute resolution survey of the diffuse atomic interstellar medium beyond the Galactic plane, combining DRAO and GBT data for comprehensive analysis.
Findings
Power spectrum exponents range from -2.5 to -3.0, indicating specific density and velocity field characteristics.
Significant changes in H I structures occur with small velocity variations, revealing complex gas dynamics.
Cold, dense gas identified as the cold neutral medium phase through absorption spectra.
Abstract
Observations of Galactic H I gas for seven targeted regions at intermediate Galactic latitude are presented at 1' angular resolution using data from the DRAO Synthesis Telescope (ST) and the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The DHIGLS data are the most extensive arcminute resolution measurements of the diffuse atomic interstellar medium beyond those in the Galactic plane. The acquisition, reduction, calibration, and mosaicking of the DRAO ST data and the cross calibration and incorporation of the short-spacing information from the GBT are described. The high quality of the resulting DHIGLS products enables a variety of new studies in directions of low Galactic column density. We analyze the angular power spectra of maps of the integrated H I emission (column density) from the data cubes for several distinct velocity ranges. Fitting power spectrum models based on a power law, but including…
