Scientific paper

Consideration of photoionized H II regions, shock-heated gas, and collisional excitation and recombination in interstellar H I leads to the conclusion that the mean Lyman-alpha intensity in interstellar H I is at most three times 10 to the minus fifth power erg per sq cm per sec per steradian. This finding would tend to undermine assertions that Lyman-alpha may play an important part in photoemission from interstellar grains. Moreover, Lyman-alpha intensity surrounding supernovae and H II regions is frequently found to be very large compared to the continuum background in the 10.2-13.6 eV band.
