Interstellar Clouds

Numerical calculations of the growth of thermal instabilities show that condensations tend to form with the proper sort of density contrast but the wrong shapes (and, to some extent, sizes) to qualify as the observed interstellar clouds analyzed by Heiles.

The efficiency of the transfer of energy from supernovae into interstellar cloud motions is investigated. A lower limit of about 0·002 is obtained, but values near 0·01 are more likely. Taking all uncertainties in the theory and observations into account, the energy per supernova, in the form of relativistic particles or high-velocity matter, needed to maintain the random motions in the interstellar gas is estimated as 1051·4±1ergs.
