Interstellar Medium, Interstellar Medium Models And Concepts

Scientific paper

Various constituents of the gaseous interstellar medium absorb radiation from a background source at specific combinations of wavelengths. As a result, there may be one or more localized reductions of intensity (or outright gaps), often referred to as `lines' (images of a spectrograph's entrance slit—see figure 1), when one views a spectrum of the source. This effect arises from the ability of in...
