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-0607731Balsara由于其在现代天体物理学的许多方面发挥着重要作用，从恒星形成到年轻和古老星系的演化，了解星际介质（ISM）的物理学至关重要。 由于最近的地面和空间观测，提高对 ISM 热相和暖相以及 ISM 中湍流混合的理论理解非常重要。 既然现代系统能够足够快地模拟星系中 ISM 的部分，该项目将通过数值建模来满足这些需求。 在许多情况下，一种输出将是模拟诊断，以便与观察结果进行直接比较。这项工作将提供研究生论文、本科生研究培训、针对学校的网站，以及对以科学为基础的“艺术到科学”计划的贡​​献进入 K-12 教室。
