Hands on the Universe (AST113) Fall 2009

The Interstellar Medium (AST320) Spring 2009
The interstellar medium (ISM) is the matter which occupies the enormous volume between stars. The ISM consists of gas and dust particles, permeated by magnetic fields and bathed by energetic cosmic rays (energetic protons, electrons and gamma rays). Stars are born from the ISM, and they die and return matter to the ISM at the end of their life.
