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-0607731 Balsara由于它在现代天体物理学的许多方面的作用，从星星的形成到年轻和年老星系的演化，理解星际介质（ISM）的物理学具有根本的重要性。 由于最近的地面和空间为基础的观测，它是重要的，以提高理论上的理解的热和温暖的阶段的ISM，并在ISM湍流混合。 该项目将通过数值建模来满足这些需求，现在现代系统已经足够快地模拟星系中ISM的部分。 在许多情况下，一个输出将是模拟诊断与观察直接比较。这项工作将提供研究生论文，本科生研究培训，学校针对的网站，并为“艺术到科学”计划，把科学到K-12教室的贡献。
