Scientific paper

The paper presents a model for the evolution of a supernova disturbance in the very low density, high temperature, interstellar matrix in order to explore consequences of such disturbances on the interstellar clouds. It is assumed that higher density material is sufficiently common to impede the velocity field, and that thermal conduction is magnetically quenched between the matrix and H I regions. An estimation is made of the work done by blast waves in compressing interstellar clouds, and it is shown that an individual disturbance is found to lose at least a modest fraction of its energy in this manner.
