Dec 9, 2020 | Susan Clark: KIPAC's Newest Faculty Member Studies the Mysteries of Magnetism in Galaxies

Workshop Description Exciting new observational data and techniques are challenging our models of the interstellar medium (ISM). Dust extinction modeling and pulsar scintillation arc studies reveal a plethora of structures, some of which were previously known, but many of which are new and poorly understood. Advances in numerical modeling of the interstellar medium invite new comparisons with ...

Panelists: Yao-Yuan Mao (Rutgers University) Steve Allen (Stanford) Susan Clark (Stanford) Micah Buuck (moderator, SLAC) via zoom. In the interest of making this as productive as possible, we want to encourage you to post questions for the panelists ahead of time, so that they can have a few days to think about your questions.

What fills the space between the stars? In addition to stars, planets, and dark matter, galaxies are home to vast reservoirs of gas and dust, high-energy particles, and magnetic fields. This is the interstellar medium (ISM): the stuff between the stars. The interstellar medium is the material from which new stars are born. It is actively sculpted by feedback from stellar winds, supernova ...
