AST-0607731BalsaraDue to its role in numerous aspects of modern astrophysics, from star formation to the evolution of both young and old galaxies, understanding the physics of the interstellar medium (ISM) is of fundamental importance. Because of recent ground- and space-based observations, it is important to improve theoretical understanding of the hot and warm phases of the ISM, and of turbulent mixing in the ISM. This project will address these needs with numerical modeling, now that modern systems are fast enough simulate sections of the ISM in a galaxy. In many cases, one output will be simulated diagnostics for direct comparison with the observations.The work will provide for a graduate thesis, undergraduate research training, school-targeted web sites, and a contribution to the 'Art to Science' program that takes science into K-12 classrooms.

AST-0607731Balsaradue在现代天体物理学的许多方面，从恒星形成到年轻星系的演变，了解星际培养基（ISM）的物理学至关重要。 由于近期的基础和空间基观测，重要的是要改善对ISM的热和温暖阶段以及ISM中湍流混合的理论理解。 由于现代系统已经足够快地模拟了银河系中的ISM部分，因此该项目将通过数值建模来满足这些需求。 在许多情况下，将模拟一项输出，以直接与观察结果进行比较。这项工作将为研究生论文，本科研究培训，针对学校的网站以及对“艺术对科学”计划的贡​​献，该计划将科学带入K-12教室。
